Chickpea Sauce And Spaghetti Recipes

BEST CHICKPEA SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid it came in separately.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the spaghetti for 2-3 minutes less than what the package directions say.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Saute until the garlic is fragrant and cooked through.
• Add the chili flakes and swirl it around with the garlic and olive oil for a few seconds.
• Add the tomatoes and saute until they start losing their shape, and they are no longer watery.
• Add the chickpeas, tomato puree, and salt.
• When the pasta is 2-3 minutes shy of being done, drain it and add it to the chickpea sauce. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce until it is done to your liking. If the sauce starts gets too thick, add some of the chickpea liquid in to thin it out.
• Finish the pasta by tossing in the plant-based parmesan cheese.

CREAMY CHICKPEA PASTA WITH SPINACH AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
• In a wide, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chickpeas, rosemary and Aleppo pepper, if using. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas start to caramelize at their edges and pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about half the chickpeas to a bowl. Reserve for garnish.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots and garlic to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the pasta until a couple minutes short of al dente according to package instructions, about 5 minutes. Do not drain the pasta, but using tongs, transfer the pasta directly from the pot to the spinach and cream sauce. Add 1 cup pasta cooking water and the Parmesan, and cook over medium-high, stirring vigorously with the tongs, until the sauce is thickened and the noodles are al dente, about 2 minutes. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen sauce, if needed.
• Transfer to bowls, and top with reserved chickpeas, rosemary and black pepper. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

PASTA WITH CHICKPEA-TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds (do not brown). Add chickpeas, season with salt, and cook 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until sauce has reduced slightly, 20 minutes. Add basil, and cook 5 minutes more. Remove basil.
• While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain pasta, and return to pot.
• Add sauce to pasta, and toss. Serve with Parmesan, and garnish with torn basil.

CHICKPEA SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• 1. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 can of chickpeas with its liquid.
• 2. In a large saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the garlic and onions until the garlic begins to brown.
• 3. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, rosemary, chickpea puree, and the remaining can of chickpeas with its liquid to the saucepan. Stirring it often, heat the mixture for about 15 minutes or until it has thickened. Add the parsley and pepper.
• 4. Toss the hot cooked spaghetti with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.

SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKPEA RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the rosemary, garlic, chiles, onions and some salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stir 1 minute, and then add the wine. To a food processor, add half of the chickpeas and the stock, and pulse into a fine chop but not a puree. Add the chickpea mixture to the sauce. Add in the tomatoes, breaking them up a little and add the remaining whole chickpeas. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook to thicken the sauce, about 20 minutes. Turn off and cool, then store for a make-ahead meal.
• Reheat the sauce over medium heat, partially covered, adding a little stock or pasta water to thin, if necessary.
• To serve, bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water, and cook the pasta to al dente. Remove 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water and add to the sauce, if necessary. Strain the pasta and add to the sauce. Toss to combine for 1 full minute. Serve the pasta in shallow bowls topped with cheese and parsley.

PASTA WITH CHICKPEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all but 1/4 cup of the chickpeas in a food processor or blender, add one cup of water and process until smooth.
• Heat the olive oil with the chili pepper and the garlic in a one quart saucepan.
• Add the onion, parsley, basil and bay leaf; cook, stirring, about five minutes over medium heat.
• Add the whole chickpeas, tomatoes, salt and pepper; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, covered, for thirty minutes, stirring at least every ten minutes.
• Add water if liquid reduces too much.
• Discard the bay leaf.
• When ready to serve, transfer the hot chickpea sauce to a heated bowl large enough to comfortably hold all the pasta.
• Dilute the sauce with 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water and fold in pasta.
• Serve and pass parmigiana and the grater.

LEMONY PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARSLEY

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.
