Pasta with Garbanzo Beans
Pasta with Garbanzo Beans
(Pasta con Fagioli di Ceci)
 
 
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
3 and 1/4 cups (or more) chicken broth or vegetable broth
One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed, drained
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup uncooked small elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano cheese 

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion, celery, garlic and bay leaf; saute until onion is golden and tender, about 7 minutes.

Add 3 and 1/4 cups broth, garbanzo beans, tomato paste and crushed red pepper.

Bring to boil.

Add macaroni; reduce heat to medium and boil gently until macaroni is very tender, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry, about 15 minutes (mixture will be thick but some broth should remain).

Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.

Stir in parsley and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Ladle pasta mixture into 4 bowls.
 
Top each serving with 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano cheese. Makes 4 first-course servings.
 
That's it!
