Pasta and chickpeas of Grandma Ascenza
First courses
Level Easy
Prep 50'
Cook 2 h
Serves 6
Method
Soak the chickpeas in warm water (without salt) for 24 hours, changing the water every 5/6 hours. Cook them very slowly until they are soft, but do not have a split skin yet. If desired, flavour the cooking water with a head of garlic and a sprig of rosemary. When they are cooked (about 2 hours), turn off the heat and let them rest in the cooking water until they are warm.
Fry the rosemary and garlic in a separate pan; when the garlic browns, remove it from the pan together with the rosemary.
Separately prepare a beaten mixture with 1/2 clove of garlic and 6 anchovies (about 1 anchovy each) to form a cream.
Boil the water or vegetable stock and boil the cannolicchi, halfway through cooking add half of the boiled chickpeas and bring to the end of cooking (remove some water at the end if necessary, it must be at the level of pasta and chickpeas).
Pass the other half of the chickpeas through a vegetable masher and add it to the pasta at the end of cooking. Also add the anchovy and garlic cream. Finish with a spoonful of raw extra virgin olive oil, leave to rest for a minute and serve.

Black chickpeas velvet
First courses
Level Easy
Prep 15'
Cook 40'
Serves 4
Method
I used them for the first time, intrigued and even a little bit suspicious of color and small size!
I soaked them for more than 12/18 hours, rinsed them and put them in the pressure cooker together with blonde onion, celery, carrots and, trusting to fix a difficult black color , 1/2 bottle of tomato sauce!
I rinsed the basil kept aside. I only added a little water but no salt. After 40' from the whistle, I tasted, they were still tough, but... definitely cooked, I salted and finally I have put it all in the blender!
At this point I had two ideas: dry, cold and compact, perfect with a bruschetta with the addition of a
a trickle of EVO oil and a basil leaf.
The other idea, which proved to be a very good dinner, at lukewarm temperature, I added pepper, a drizzle of oil , bread toasted cubes, and I served, a wonderful new one, genuine black chickpeas velvet!
The next day... it was even better!
Enjoy your meal!!!
