Ingredients

  • Salt and black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
  • 1/4 pound cooked Spanish chorizo or kielbasa, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
  • 4 cups cooked chickpeas, with their liquid
  • 1/2 pound cut pasta, like ziti or penne (even smaller cut pasta is good here)
  • Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish.

Directions

  1. Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add chorizo; heat, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is lightly browned, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and then the garlic; cook until it colors lightly, then add bread crumbs. Toast, shaking skillet frequently, until bread crumbs turn golden brown, about 10 minutes; if necessary, add a little more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl.
