Ingredients

4 tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled, sliced thin
6 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. kosher salt
3 cups cooked chickpeas
1 cup uncooked pasta
4 cups hot water

Directions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic and cook, stirring until it becomes lightly browned and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and salt and fry until the color deepens slightly, about one minute.
Add the chickpeas, pasta, and boiling water. Stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, lower the heat, and simmer, stirring every now and then to make sure pasta doesn’t stick.
Simmer until pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.
