Ingredients

1 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste

2 cloves of garlic

2 tsp of oil

1 16 oz package of frozen broccoli

1 16 ox can of chic peas (Garbanzo beans)

1/2 cup finely grated parmesan.

4-6 oz of dried whole wheat pasta

1/3 cup of Pasta Water

Directions

Have pot of boiling water for pasta ready.

Heat oil in pan over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, stir and let simmer for 30 seconds.

Add garlic, stirring, until fragrant - about 30 seconds.

Add the package of frozen broccoli and let it sit, resist the urge to stir, for about 3 minutes.

Add pasta to boiling water.

Stir the brocolli once, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes more, until the broccoli is heated through.

Add the chick peas and cook for two minutes until heated through.

Take 1/3 cup of water from pasta and add to the chick pea mixture.

Drain the pasta.

Bring Water in chick peas to a boil and reduce by half over medium heat, about 2 minutes.

Toss pasta in with chick peas, add parmesan cheese and lots of fresh cracked pepper.

Plate and Serve!

Bookmarked! This looks great Marc. Chick Peas are my favorite. I use them in everything, though not in this combination.

I'm gonna try this tonight using green chick peas from Trader Joe's, and minus the broccoli. Hopefully it'll still be good!

Just made it - it was great for cold snow bound NY - warms up the body well.

This was very good! i omitted the veggies and just used the chick peas, and used a little chicken broth mixed in with the pasta water. I made it even more unhealthy by adding butter to the pasta first too. Next time I will make it with the veggies, I just didnt have broccoli or even cauliflower handy. All in all though, a great way to incorporate chick peas! I couldnt figure out what to do with them except hummus or in a salad. thanks!

This was delicious and very, very quick! I threw in some chopped asparagus that had been languishing in the fridge, too. :)
