Pasta With Chickpea Sauce image

This sauce is so rich and satisfying that you forget that it is vegetarian and quite healthy. I use homemade pappardelle, but any wide noodle or even lasagna noodles or any pasta of your choice will work just fine. With a salad and bread and wine and cheese, it's a lovely meal. Feel free to add more garlic and more chili pepper if you like.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor. It turned out pretty good, but I probably won't make it again.
