Chickpeas And Penne With Pecan Red Pepper Pesto


It's fun to cook for my vegan neighbors, but also a challenge to come up with food that has texture in addition to good flavor.

Steps


First boil a quarter pound of penne noodles.
While that is going , saute an onion in some olive oil.
Add the rinsed chickpeas in the pan to roast a little.
In a blender , add the peppers , garlic , olive oil , chipotle , pecans , salt and pepper , and catsup.
Toss everything together and cook on low heat , just long enough to heat the sauce through.
Squeeze some lemon juice on top and serve.
