Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups chickpeas, cooked (garbanzo beans)
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth (more as needed)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
• 1 lb orecchiette (little ears)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (more as needed)

Recipe

• 1 saute garlic and chickpeas in olive oil over high heat until chickpeas begin to pop. add sage, broth, and pepper. lower heat and reduce broth by one-fourth.
• 2 cook pasta al dente and drain. place in a large bowl and toss with butter. add chickpeas and broth; toss well. add salt to taste and 1/4 c parmesan cheese. if pasta seems too dry, add more broth to taste. serve with additional parmesan cheese.
• 3 you can use one 16-oz can of chickpeas and 1 ts dried sage instead of the fresh versions if you like. orecchiette pasta works the best as the chickpeas snuggle into the hollows perfectly.
