Chickpeas with garlic

I recently bought Claudia Roden's The Food of Italy - a simple and touching book that goes region by region through Italy with recipes so short and simple that you wonder if something is wrong - "thats all i need to do?" you ask staring at 4 ingredients and one line of instruction.

So for chickpea week I took her recipe for Ceci all'aglio (chickpeas with garlic) and added pasta. A filling dinner for six is created!
