I got this yummy and unique vegetarian pasta recipe from Real Simple, and that's just what it is! Crushed red pepper flakes give it a great kick, but if you're not into heat leave them out. The best part of this dish, it's all made in one pot, so cleanup is a breeze!

LEMONY PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARSLEY



Lemony Pasta With Chickpeas and Parsley image

You can used either canned or home-cooked chickpeas in this take on the classic Italian dish pasta con ceci, which is an excellent, nutritious, quick-cooking dinner. But even more appealing is the way the soft earthiness of the chickpeas plays off the al dente pasta, coating it like a rich sauce but without a lot of fat. The whole dish is zipped up with some lemon, garlic and red pepper flakes.

Categories     dinner, easy, for two, quick, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt, as needed
8 ounces regular or whole-wheat fusilli or other short, sturdy pasta
2 cups cooked chickpeas, home-cooked or canned
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/2 onion, diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Pinch of red pepper flakes, plus more as needed
1 1/2 cups chickpea cooking liquid (from a homemade pot; do not use the liquid from the can), vegetable stock or water
3 cups fresh parsley leaves (from 1 large bunch)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add fusilli and cook until it is just shy of al dente. (It should be slightly underdone to your taste because you'll finish cooking it in the sauce.) Drain well.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chickpea sauce: Place chickpeas in a large bowl and use a potato masher or a fork to lightly mash them; they should be about half-crushed.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in onions, rosemary, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Then stir in chickpeas and the cooking liquid, stock or water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in pasta and parsley, and cook until the pasta has finished cooking and is coated in the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly toss in cheese, butter, lemon zest, black pepper to taste and salt if needed. Drizzle with olive oil and shower with additional cheese before serving.

SPAGHETTI WITH CAULIFLOWER, ALMONDS, TOMATOES AND CHICKPEAS



Spaghetti With Cauliflower, Almonds, Tomatoes and Chickpeas image

Pasta with cauliflower comes in many variations throughout Italy. This one is all about texture -- crunchy almonds, tender (but not mushy) cauliflower and plush chickpeas. The original version of this recipe called for quinoa spaghetti (and if you're into that, go for it!), but we've found it's just as tasty with the traditional sort as well.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

24 raw almonds (about 3 tablespoons), blanched, skinned* and chopped
1 small or 1/2 large head cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-14 1/2-ounce can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of cinnamon
Salt to taste
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried oregano (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or freshly cooked)
3/4 pound spaghetti
Crumbled feta or freshly grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

  • Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and cauliflower. Boil 5 minutes, then using a Chinese skimmer, a strainer or a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to a bowl of cold water (do not drain the pot; you'll use the water for the pasta). Drain the cauliflower and chop medium-fine. Set aside.
  • (You can do this step while you are waiting for the water to come to a boil for the cauliflower). Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in tomatoes with liquid, sugar, cinnamon, salt and oregano. Turn up heat to medium-high and stir often as tomatoes come to a brisk boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and taste very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add pepper to taste.
  • Add cauliflower and almonds to the tomato sauce, along with 1/4 cup cooking water from the cauliflower, and stir together. Stir in chickpeas.
  • Bring water in the pot back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook al dente, following timing instructions on the package but checking for doneness a minute before indicated time on the package. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta, in case you want to moisten the sauce more, drain pasta and toss with the tomato and cauliflower sauce and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add water from pasta only if you think the mixture seems dry. Serve, passing crumbled feta or grated Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality pasta, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Chickpea pasta cooks more quickly than traditional pasta, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it al dente, so that it still has a slight bite to it.
  • Roast the almonds: Roasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can roast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is the finishing touch to this dish, so use a good quality cheese that you enjoy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the almonds are still crunchy.

Conclusion:

This chickpea pasta with almonds and Parmesan cheese is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. Give this recipe a try and enjoy a delicious and healthy meal that the whole family will love.
