Categories     Pasta     Side

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

• One 19-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 pound rigatoni
• 5 large garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. 2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until al dente. 3. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderate heat until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chickpea mixture and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Drain the rigatoni, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the broccoli and chickpeas along with the reserved cooking water and season with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the rigatoni is coated with sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Transfer the pasta to a bowl, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon zest and bread crumbs really helped to balance out the flavor of the chickpeas. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would have been better with less salt. I also think it would have been better with some grated Parmesan cheese on top.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also think it would have been better with some grated Parmesan cheese on top.
