Method

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook pasta according to package directions, starting with the cut with the longest cook time and finishing with the cut with the shortest cook time.

Meanwhile, in a skillet sauté garlic, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning with half the olive oil for two minutes. Stir in chickpeas, one cup of hot water and simmer for two minutes.

Step 3

Cool down 1/3 of skillet mixture and process in the blender.

Step 4

Add pureed mixture back to the skillet. Stir in peppers and Italian parsley; bring back to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Drain pasta and toss with chickpea-pepper mixture for a minute, drizzle with remaining olive oil and serve immediately.

Mezzi Rigatoni

Mezzi Rigatoni combines the heartiness of traditional Rigatoni – a cut that is most commonly used in Southern and Central Italy – with a smaller size, which makes for a charming variation of an old favorite. It’s sure to delight your family and friends. Barilla^® Mezzi Rigatoni is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
