Pasta Ceci

Tony Bastardi

Believe it or not, I am an amateur cook and this is my original recipe. 

Pasta Ceci

Ingredients: 

3 tbsp. olive oil

4 cloves garlic

1 pound of favorite pasta (or even spaghetti broken up)

salt and pepper to taste

small handful of fresh parsley

2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans). 

Preparation:

Brown garlic in oil in a 6-quart pot. Add chickpeas, salt, pepper, parsley, and enough water to cover the pasta when added.  Cook chickpeas until tender, bring back to a boil and add pasta.  Stir and cover and let cook until al dente.  Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
