Hello hello hello! Welcome to my pasta night 🙂
This pasta is rich, creamy, and cheesy (if you love cheese ;)) and has some crunch on the top. This pasta is a versatile recipe where you can adjust the amount of cheese according to your choice 🙂 and topped with super spicy and crunchy chickpeas.
T.A.S.T.Y and Ridiculously Easy
Yep, You heard it right. This one is the easiest pasta recipe ever. I also want to mention that, The sauce is minimal and you really don’t require fancy ingredients to prepare chickpeas also.
Chickpea preparation
- Chickpea preparation is pretty simple here. I used canned chickpeas. However you can use soaked and cooked chickpeas too. Use this guide for the reference.
- Transfer cooked chickpeas in a baking pan. Add salt, oil and some seasoning. Toss it and roast in an oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 350˚F.
- Keep it aside.
Pasta and sauce preparation
- Boil your pasta and keep it aside.
- For the sauce, Keep your ingredients ready as you have to be a bit quick.
- Into the pan, heat oil, add garlic, flour and roast it. Add water, seasoning, salt and some cheese if you like.
- Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes or until thickens.
Assemble everything and enjoy 😉
