Ingredients
300 g chickpeas
400 g fresh tagliatelle
(called tria in the Salento dialect, a word of obvious Arab origin)
Various vegetables:
onion, celery, carrots, chops of peeled tomatoes
parsley
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Cook the chickpeas after having soaked them overnight in water with a handful of salt. After the water comes to the boil, strain them and move them to another saucepan with the vegetables. Cover with water and cook. Cook three quarters of the tagliatelle in salted boiling water, strain when 'al dente'. Heat oil in a pan (a sufficent amount to dress the pasta), fry the remaining tagliatelle in it until golden. Mix the fried pasta with the one cooked in water, add the vegetables, and dress with the hot oil. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and chopped parsley.
