How to Make Bow Ties With Chickpeas And Tomatoes

  1. Drain one (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, reserving ¾ cup of the juice.
  2. Chop the drained tomatoes into smaller pieces.
  3. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately low heat.
  4. Add ½ medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Increase the heat to medium. Add the chopped tomatoes and the reserved ¾ cup of tomato juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Stir in one (15 ounce) can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed). Cook for another 5 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound of farfalle pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  8. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss gently to combine.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (2 tablespoons chopped).
