-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound fusilli -- or penne
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 cups chopped red bell peppers
1 cup chopped yellow onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 cups vegetable stock -- or canned vegetable broth
1 can chickpeas -- (15-ounce) rinsed and drained
8 ounces fresh baby spinach -- rinsed well and stems removed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup cubed mozzarella
1/2 cup grated asiago
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al
dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell
peppers and onions, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the
garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine
and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the vegetable stock and chickpeas and bring to
a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chickpeas are tender, about
5 minutes, and almost all the broth is gone.
Crush the peas lightly with the back of a spoon against the side of the pot.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta
and toss well to coat. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Add the extra-virgin olive
oil, cream, and cheeses, and toss to combine.
Divide the pasta among serving plates and serve immediately.
