How to Make Thunder And Lightning
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 ½ cups (about 1 16-oz can) drained and rinsed chickpeas. Fry, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are golden brown and begin to pop (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried sage (or 2 teaspoons fresh sage, chopped), 1 cup vegetable broth, and 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the broth has reduced by one-fourth (about 5 minutes).
- Meanwhile, cook 1 pound orecchiette pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chickpeas. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the chickpea mixture to the pasta. Toss well to combine.
- If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Season with salt to taste and stir in ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
