"Luxurious and hearty, cheap and easy, this vegetarian pasta uses mostly pantry staples, requiring just a few fresh ingredients, like baby spinach, rosemary and heavy cream Canned chickpeas form the foundation of the dish: They’re cooked until crisp and caramelized Half are then saved as a garnish, while the rest are simmered until they break down and thicken the sauce..."
