  • Total Time 30 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
    • 3 cups cooked chickpeas
    • Coarse salt
    • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
    • 1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 sprig fresh basil, plus torn leaves for garnish
    • 12 ounces medium pasta shells
    • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds (do not brown). Add chickpeas, season with salt, and cook 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until sauce has reduced slightly, 20 minutes. Add basil, and cook 5 minutes more. Remove basil.
  2. While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain pasta, and return to pot.
  3. Add sauce to pasta, and toss. Serve with Parmesan, and garnish with torn basil.
