(pasta with chickpeas)

I love how comforting this is and how simple! I added a lot of pecorino to mine because cheese is life. Was truly delicious. -Bennett

INGREDIENTS:

Heat the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, celery, carrots, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt, and sauté for 2-3 mins.

Add the tomato paste, and sauté 2-3 minutes, until it begins to take on a deeper shade of red.

Add the chickpeas, and stir to combine. Use a potato masher to mash about 1/4 of the chickpeas.

Add the broth and pasta, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the pasta is al dente.

Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the kale ribbons and Pecorino, and stir to combine.

Serve hot, with a drizzle of good olive oil, more Pecorno, and lots of freshly cracked black pepper.
