While waiting the 20 minutes for the chickpeas to soften, I invented a new form of mathematics.

My kids love pasta and they love chickpeas. I tried this tonight with some left over pasta and it look me 20 mins to whip together the sauce with minimal effort. The kids loved it—my 7 year old thanked me several times for making it. As a working parent with picky kids, you truly made our night and we will be making this again!

I can't believe it, my grandma makes this exact same pasta. She's from Calabria. She also makes variations of this pasta with lentils, beans or potatoes, all tasting great. Thank you!

LOVE coming across channels like these that show what REAL Italian cuisine is actually like, which on a day-to-day level is basically simple, natural, hearty fare filled with generous amounts of olive oil, beans, pasta, seasonal fruits and vegetables, a sprinkling of spices, maybe some local mushrooms and sparing amounts of meat and dairy. It's fresh, humble, frugal but healthy working food for working people.

Here's a hot tip that made several groups of guests ask for my recipe: While the pasta is cooking, put in as much frozen peas as you prefer in small doses, so the water isn't cooling to much. The mix of chickpea sauce and fresh peas is unbeatable. Also add dried mushrooms while it's cooking for some more oomph.

I'm SHOOK! I thought that this would be "fine"... maybe reminiscent of my hummus touching my pasta salad on a pot luck plate. NAY! This is entirely different and amazing. I added my garlic cloves to the puree along with a little bit of the rosemary. Also added white pepper. I used cheese with my first serving, but not for the second. It doesn't need it. Thanks and I'm going to try more of the recipes you share!
