Ingredients
- 14 oz pasta (spaghetti or rigatoni)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 piece onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 14 oz canned chickpeas
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup red wine

Instructions
- 1Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 2Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 3Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, then pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine.
- 5Season with salt and black pepper, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
