LEMONY PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARSLEY
You can used either canned or home-cooked chickpeas in this take on the classic Italian dish pasta con ceci, which is an excellent, nutritious, quick-cooking dinner. But even more appealing is the way the soft earthiness of the chickpeas plays off the al dente pasta, coating it like a rich sauce but without a lot of fat. The whole dish is zipped up with some lemon, garlic and red pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add fusilli and cook until it is just shy of al dente. (It should be slightly underdone to your taste because you'll finish cooking it in the sauce.) Drain well.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chickpea sauce: Place chickpeas in a large bowl and use a potato masher or a fork to lightly mash them; they should be about half-crushed.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in onions, rosemary, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Then stir in chickpeas and the cooking liquid, stock or water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in pasta and parsley, and cook until the pasta has finished cooking and is coated in the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly toss in cheese, butter, lemon zest, black pepper to taste and salt if needed. Drizzle with olive oil and shower with additional cheese before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh, fragrant parsley for the best flavor in your sauce.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried parsley flakes. Just be sure to add it to the sauce at the end of cooking, so that it doesn't lose its flavor.
- You can use any type of pasta for this recipe, but a long, thin noodle like spaghetti or angel hair works best.
- Be sure to salt the pasta water generously. This will help to season the pasta and make it more flavorful.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain it well and then rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the pasta is cooking, you can make the parsley sauce. Simply combine the parsley, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Once the pasta is cooked and drained, toss it with the parsley sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
