Luncheon Invitation - Lady in a Large Hat

You’ve decided on a luncheon invitation for your party…what are you going to serve?  We like this recipe for a crowd or just for a non-meat dinner alternative.

Chickpea Pasta With Almonds and Parmesan Recipe:

You won’t miss the meat in this elegant dish, which stars protein-packed chickpeas and almonds for a bit of crunch. A hit of red pepper flakes adds a touch of heat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 7 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • kosher salt
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta
  • 1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted roasted almonds, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
