PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium saucepan until coated. Cook over medium heat until the breadcrumbs are golden, 4 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove to a small bowl.
• Wipe out the saucepan, return to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the red onion, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary. Cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until deep red, about 1 minute. Stir in the chickpeas with their liquid and the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 7 to 10 more minutes.
• Stir the chickpea sauce, parsley and cheese into the pasta off the heat; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen (the pasta will soak up the sauce as it sits). Divide among bowls; top with the breadcrumbs, more cheese, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

LEMONY PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add fusilli and cook until it is just shy of al dente. (It should be slightly underdone to your taste because you'll finish cooking it in the sauce.) Drain well.
• While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chickpea sauce: Place chickpeas in a large bowl and use a potato masher or a fork to lightly mash them; they should be about half-crushed.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in onions, rosemary, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Then stir in chickpeas and the cooking liquid, stock or water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in pasta and parsley, and cook until the pasta has finished cooking and is coated in the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly toss in cheese, butter, lemon zest, black pepper to taste and salt if needed. Drizzle with olive oil and shower with additional cheese before serving.
