Let’s see immediately ingredients and preparation.

Roman-style chickpea pasta is too good, and it’s also good for you. Only 330 calories!

The ingredients

For 5 people you need: a liter of hot water; 400 grams of already cooked chickpeas; 300 grams of short pasta (the one you like); 250 grams of peeled tomatoes; 20 grams of anchovies in oil; two cloves of garlic;
a drizzle of olive oil; just enough rosemary, pepper and salt.

The preparation

The first thing is to pour the oil into a non-stick pan with high sides, then add the garlic and rosemary, after which everything is left to flavor well.

Now add the anchovies, melt them and then add the tomatoes, crushing them with a wooden spoon, then mix and let everything go for a few minutes.

Now add salt and pepper, then add the chickpeas, stirring again, and let it go for a few moments, then remove both the garlic and the rosemary and add the hot water, then mix again and adjust salt and pepper again.

When the water begins to boil, take half the chickpeas, pour them into a container with a little stock, then work them with an immersion blender and season with a teaspoon of oil.

At this point, cook the pasta in the pan with the sauce and when it is almost ready, add the chickpea cream we have just prepared, then mix well, turn off the flame and bring it to the table.

Enjoy your meal!
