PASTA WITH CHORIZO, CHICKPEAS AND KALE



Pasta With Chorizo, Chickpeas and Kale image

Packed with the intense flavors of garlic, paprika and salt, dried chorizo sets the flavor profile of this pasta. First, the chorizo sears in a skillet to render some of its fat and flavor, then chickpeas, scallions and kale soak up its spices. Salty Manchego cheese maintains the Spanish vibes, but Parmesan or pecorino work equally well. While eight ounces of pasta might not seem like a lot, meaty chickpeas and hearty kale complete the dish.

Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces fusilli or other short pasta
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
7 to 8 ounces dried chorizo, thinly sliced
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • Return chorizo, chickpeas and scallions to skillet and toss to combine. Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with Manchego to serve.

PASTA WITH KALE, CHICKPEAS AND OLIVES



Pasta With Kale, Chickpeas and Olives image

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. It was adapted from a recipe in "Wild About Greens" by Nava Atlas. I made some changes to be more in line with a Nutritarian eating style. If you don't have pine nuts, sliced almonds or sunflower seeds will work as well. You can also substitute green olives if you don't have kalamata. When I freeze this, I omit the pasta and cook it fresh later.

14 ounces kale, de-stemmed and chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
8 ounces whole wheat rotini
1/2 teaspoon oil (to coat pan)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Remove the center stem from the kale and discard. Wash and chop kale leaves and set aside. If you don't know how to remove the stems from kale, Google: remove kale stems.
  • If desired, toast pine nuts in dry skillet. Stir constantly and watch carefully, they burn easily. Set aside.
  • Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Coat large covered frying pan or dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil and sauté garlic, pepper and mushrooms until soft, adding small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Add as much kale as will fit in the pan and small amount of water if needed. Cover and cook until wilted and soft. Continue adding kale, stirring frequently, until it is all in the pan, adding water as needed to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until kale is tender.

  • Add nuts and pepper.
  • Mix with pasta and serve.

PASTA E CECI (ITALIAN PASTA AND CHICKPEA STEW)



Pasta e Ceci (Italian Pasta and Chickpea Stew) image

There is an incredible number of recipes for this classic Roman dish, and everyone has an opinion on how it should be prepared. This version is more stew than soup, but it can be loosened up with a bit more water if you prefer. It begins with sautéing onion, tomatoes, garlic and rosemary in olive oil, then tossing in the chickpeas, and smashing a few to give the stew a creamy texture. Water is added, then uncooked pasta, which cooks as the stew simmers (and results in one less dish for you wash). Escarole is folded in right before serving. This flexible stew can go in a number of directions, so tweak it as you see fit, but don't forget to finish each bowl with grated pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil. Ciao.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 packed cup canned whole tomatoes, drained
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup ditalini
4 cups roughly chopped escarole, Tuscan kale or radicchio
Grated pecorino, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not taking on any color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and red-pepper flakes, and cook 1 minute more. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and the chickpeas, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon or spatula and smashing about 1/2 cup of the beans.
  • Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Add the pasta and simmer, stirring often to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes. The water will mostly be absorbed by the pasta, but if you prefer it brothier, you can add 1/2 to 1 cup water and simmer until warmed through, 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the escarole and stir until wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Ladle into bowls and top with grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
