Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound pasta (dry; spaghetti or fettuccine)
  • 2 cups chickpeas (cooked)
  • 4 tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 1 tbsp pepper (ground)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated; plus more for topping)

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in the pasta pot. Add the chickpeas and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Add the pasta to the pot and toss to coat with butter. Add the parmesan, pepper, salt and 1/2 cup of reserved cooking water. Toss to combine.
  • If the pasta sauce is too thick, add more cooking water as needed.
  • Divide between 4 bowls and top with additional pepper and cheese.
