Tortiglioni con crema di ceci


I suggest you this very quick pasta dish... just delicious!
.
I came back late from work few days and did not have much at home... just a can of chickpeas (pre-boiled chickpeas) that I bought long time ago, just for emergency situations. I put the chickpeas in boiling water for 15 minutes with a garlic clove, while I was cooking my "tortiglioni". I also put some bacon in the oven, just to make it crispy. Then with a blender I blended the chickpeas with some salt, pepper and GOOD extra-virgin olive oil. The sauce was then ready to be mixed with pasta cooked "al dente" and bacon on top.
.
Isn't this easy?

Easy and much healthier alternative to cream! And who cant refuse bacon?

I've been on a chick pea kick lately. This sounds wonderfully tasty and easy.

Done, really tasty. This is a classic dish but the adding of bacon is a good idea. We add the same (pancetta) in pasta e zucchine traditionally. Anyway I did last Sunday, excellent! I also add some light creme freche (it was in the fridge), really good.

Patricia, thanks. It is easy and very quick and it tastes very good. It is very light too... no cream or butter in it.

Glamah16, thanks and you are right... it is very helthy because there is no cream and no butter.

Bella Baita, thanks.

Jo, thanks.

Sylvia, thanks a lot.

Beborah, thanks. It is a very easy dish.

Kix, mi fa piacere sapere che ti è piaciuta.

Alessandro, nice to hear that you also liked it. Bacon goes very well with chickpeas.
Ciao.

Ciao Orchidea, bella ricetta: la crema di ceci mi piace moltissimo e poi il contrasto delle consistenze (creato con la pancetta croccante) ci sta tutto. Da provare.
