Best 3 Farfalle With Chickpeas Recipes

FALAFEL WITH CANNED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Mash chickpeas in a bowl using a masher. Combine mashed chickpeas, onions, parsley, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Mix eggs, cumin, coriander, salt, lemon juice, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl. Add chickpea mixture and mix together. Add bread crumbs slowly and combine using your hands until mixture isn't sticky, but will hold together when frying.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Form mixture into about 12 patties about as wide as the palm of your hand. Fry patties in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

FARFALLE WITH ROASTED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat gas grill to a medium heat.
• Trim peppers to remove stems and seeds. Quarter and set aside.
• Half the plum tomatoes longwise and set aside.
• Rub 1 Tbsp olive oil onto the bottom of an 11 x 14 inch baking pan and stir in all the chickpeas to lightly coat with the oil. Set aside.
• On the stove, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil to a large frying pan or Dutch Oven and slowly saute onion and garlic.
• Place peppers and tomatoes skin side down onto grill. Place the pan of chick peas onto grill. Adjust the heat to low or leave grill lid open while grilling. Stir chickpeas occasionally to prevent burning. Remove when chickpeas have shrunken somewhat and have some darkened areas, after about 10-15 minutes.
• Turn peppers to prevent charring and remove after about 10-15 minutes when tender.
• Do not turn tomatoes and remove when tomatoes appear to have darkened inside and no longer appear "juicy," about 10-15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool enough to handle.
• Coarsely chop grilled tomatoes and peppers and add to onion and garlic--I use a kitchen shears and cut right into the cooking pan because it is much easier and it preserves the juice in the tomatoes. Stir in chick peas, lemon juice, basil, oregano. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.
• Cook farfalle according to package directions and drain. Top with the chickpea sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and shredded Parmasean cheese to taste. Serve with a green salad and enjoy!

FARFALLE WITH SPINACH AND GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add garbanzo beans and spinach and boil 1 minute. Transfer spinach mixture to large bowl. Add pasta. Drizzle pasta with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and toss. Season pasta generously with pepper; sprinkle with grated Parmesan and toss well. Serve.
