Ingredients
1/2 pound of pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
Place chickpeas in a large pot and cover with lightly salted water by at least 2 inches. Add unpeeled garlic, onion, and rosemary. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook, topping up with water as necessary to keep beans submerged, until beans are very tender and creamy with no graininess left, about 2 hours. Beans can also be cooked in a pressure cooker at low pressure for 30 minutes. Discard onions, garlic, and rosemary. Drain beans, reserving beans and liquid separately.
