Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta Or other whole wheat penne or rotini pasta
  • 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 medium Onion Diced
  • 2 large Carrot Diced
  • 10 ounces Cremini Mushrooms Stems removed and diced
  • 15 ounces Chickpeas Drained and thoroughly rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence
  • 1/8 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Optional
  • 1/3 cup Red Wine Dry
  • 20 ounces Tomato Puree Or crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped, optional
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Boil a large pot of water. Salt the water and add the pasta. Cook until just al dente, about 7 minutes, and drain.
  • Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in a blender or food processor and pulse a few times, just until beans are roughly chopped (stop before beans are pureed into a smooth and creamy texture).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the crimini mushrooms and chopped chickpeas and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the garlic powder, herbes de provence, and (optional) crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the red wine and cook until wine is reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, stir until well combined, and season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Allow sauce to simmer and cook about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and immediately stir in cooked pasta.
  • Top with fresh chopped parsley (optional), and serve.
