Chickpea Pasta alla Puttanesca Recipe
Serves 4
Prep – 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients:
12 oz Banza brand Chickpea Rotini
1 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes, drained, juices reserved.
1/2 medium onion, medium diced
1 cup green and black mixed olives, pitted and roughly chopped
7 oz capers, rinsed, drained and chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, bruised
2 tbs Harissa paste
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper
½ Cup lightly packed fresh basil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Red pepper flakes, and fresh grated Parmigiana for garnish
Method:
In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Salt the water generously… about 1tbs Kosher (2 if using Diamond Crystal brand). Add chickpea pasta and cook for roughly 5 minutes or just until pasta is slightly under ‘al dente.’ Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, drain and set pasta aside.
Crush the whole tomatoes by hand until all large pieces are small. In a large skillet over medium, heat olive oil. Add garlic and cook basting the garlic in the oil until the garlic turns golden and oil is infused with the garlic; about 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan off the heat, discard garlic and return the pan to the stove. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the capers and olives and sauté on medium-high until the capers turn golden. Add the harissa paste, stir to incorporate and sauté about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to incorporate, mixing all the ingredients together. Stir occasionally and cook until almost all the juices have evaporated, about 6-8 minutes. Add the reserved tomato sauce and let come to a simmer. Add some reserved pasta water to the sauce if it’s necessary to thin it out. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Cover and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until pasta is cooked through ‘al dente.’ Taste and season accordingly with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat, add ¼ cup of basil and stir it in. Add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper and about ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, stir to combine. Serve topped with shaved cheese and whole basil leaves. Serve with extra red pepper and cheese on the table. Enjoy!
