Thinking about all the things we've been eating with dried beans lately reminded me of a recipe I've been meaning to post for a while.
This is a nice alternative to your regular pasta dishes - quick, more protein than a normal pasta dish, and indulgently satisfying.
Cook up some bacon (now you know it's going to be good!) - 1/2 lb is probably plenty
Reserve the bacon, and fry a bunch of chopped garlic in the oil (umm, 5-6 cloves, but who's counting)
Add cooked chickpeas (1-2 cans worth, maybe 2-3 cups)
You may want to add a little water - maybe the water from cooking the pasta, if your chickpeas are dry.
Stir in ~1/2-3/4 c chopped toasted almonds.
When everything is hot, spoon it on top of some pasta, and grate some parmesan on top. Delish!
