Chickpea Pasta With Almonds and Parmesan

This recipe was a big disappointment. I served it to my husband and teenage son for meatless Monday and they rated it a 4/5. Way too much stock and it made it slimy. Needed something else like maybe tomatoes.

I had the same problem with the broth...even after I cut it, it was if I had made a soup. Despite this, it was tasty and I feel it is a good meal to finish off extra stock in the pantry without a trip to the grocery store--since most ingredients have a longer storage life. I felt like it prevented me from wasting food.

I have made this recipe numerous times for many different types of people. Everyone loves it plus it's really simple. I read below that someone had to drain off extra liquid--don't do that you're getting rid of tasty stuff!. Make sure when you're cooking it that it really is simmering and stir it frequently. Then let it sit for 5 minutes or so before you serve it and the noodles will soak up the excess liquid or you can pour it off to save it to perk up any leftovers. You can also use slightly thicker spaghetti or linguini to give it a longer cook time.

I love this recipe so much!! I always have the ingredients on hand, and it makes great leftovers for work.

I just made the Chickpea Pasta with Almonds and Parm.. It was really tastie..I must have done something wrong though, I had to drain off the broth..It still turned out good.. I enjoyed it as is but I could see putting some lemon juice in it and maybe some zest. Just to give it a little zing. It will go into my collection..

Is 652 calories for one serving?

Amazingly good considering how simple and quick it is to assemble, from ingredients you can easily keep on hand. We are committed vegetarians and have always found it easy to produce enjoyable dishes that are much healthier, more economical, and kinder to the world, all at the same time. This recipe is a good example!

fun to make and so good, this recipe has become a regular on our shopping list! it needs no changes or substitutes, is perfect exactly as written. we've started eating 2–3 vegetarian dishes each week to be more healthy and this was the recipe that convinced us that would not have to mean a sacrifice in flavor!

Very easy and good. Will make again!
