Categories     Herb

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1/4 pound cooked Spanish chorizo or kielbasa, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
4 cups cooked chickpeas, with their liquid
1/2 pound cut pasta, like ziti or penne (even smaller cut pasta is good here)
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish.

Steps:

  • 1. Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add chorizo; heat, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is lightly browned, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and then the garlic; cook until it colors lightly, then add bread crumbs. Toast, shaking skillet frequently, until bread crumbs turn golden brown, about 10 minutes; if necessary, add a little more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl. 2. Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to skillet and, over medium heat, chickpeas and about 1 cup of their liquid. Cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite tender; drain, then add it to chickpeas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender; stir in chorizo, heat through, and taste and adjust seasoning. 3. Serve chickpea-pasta mixture in bowls, garnished with crisp bread crumbs and a sprinkling of parsley. Yield: 4 servings.

This pasta dish was okay. I thought the flavors were a bit too strong and the bread crumbs were too oily.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I will definitely add more spices next time.

This pasta dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely make it again with less salt.

I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chorizo and bread crumbs added a lot of flavor and made the chickpeas more palatable.

I thought this pasta dish was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me and I found the bread crumbs to be a bit too oily.

This pasta dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely make it again with less chorizo.
