Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 4 ounces whole-wheat orecchiette, or chiocciole (about 1 1/2 cups)


• 1/2 bunch broccoli rabe, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces


• 3/4 cup vegetarian chicken-flavored broth, (see Note)


• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour


• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


• 4 large cloves garlic, minced


• 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, or 1/8 teaspoon dried


• 1 8-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed


• 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar


• 1/8 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook pasta for 6 minutes. Add broccoli rabe and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and broccoli rabe are just tender, about 3 minutes more. Drain. Rinse and dry the pot.


2. Whisk broth and flour in a small bowl. Heat oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in the broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until it thickens. Add chickpeas, vinegar, salt, pepper and the pasta mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through and coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes.
