⭐️ PASTA E CECI
1 can chickpeas
2 carrots
2 roma tomatoes or 1 can tomatoes blended. Reserve some of the tomato if you want chunky bits
1 16 ounce box short macaroni pasta (you will probably only use half the box)
1/2 tsp garlic powder ( or more to taste) or 1 clove of fresh garlic
1/2 tsp onion powder - or use 1/4 cup chopped onions
oil of your choice to saute in - I used olive oil from Samsclub which is mostly flavorless
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp thyme leaves or use fresh- I probably could have used a whole tsp.
salt and pepper to taste
Boil pasta in heavily salted water until just al dente. Reserve several cups of the starchy pasta water. Set aside. Saute carrots and garlic in oil, add in 1/2 tsp thyme leaves. Saute for a few minutes then add in tomato mixture and half of whole chickpeas, reserving the remainder. Add in 1 -2 cups of the starch water from the pasta (use as much as you need). Add in the bay leaf. Now blend up half of the chickpeas and add to the pot. Add in salt and pepper to your liking and add in any other spices you want. Let simmer to develop flavors. Add in pasta at the end and plate. Add as much as you want to use with the amount of liquid that you have. I didn't even use half the box.
*optional - chopped Italian parsley and top with Louisiana hot sauce. I used Crystal brand.
⭐️MACARONI SALAD
1/2 box short macaroni pasta
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayo
2 small red peppers diced
1/3 cup diced pickles - I used the sweet bread and butter chips
1/4 cup diced sweet onions
dash of pickle juice
salt and pepper to taste
Add in 1 can of drained tuna or 1 can of drained chickpeas to make a meal out of this.
*optional - any kind of seasoned salt like Cavenders Greek Seasoning.
Typically, macaroni salad has celery, but I didn't have any. Shredded carrots would be good in this too and add to the nutritional value.
