1) put oil to large skillet or pot
2) add a sprig of thyme and two drained cans of chickpeas. stir for a couple minutes
3) add some tomato paste and stir.
4) add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil
5) add a pound of some small pasta, or spaghetti noodles broken into small pieces
6) stir periodically so noodles don't stick to bottom
7) serve with cheese and red pepper flakes
@wallhackio I assume that you need to cook the small pasta first?
@vaporeon_ no they cook in the water you added to the chickpeas
They will soak up a lot of the water and the result won't be soupy, especially if you mash some of the chickpeas with a wooden spoon or potato mashed before adding the noodles
@vaporeon_ I didn't mention to season with salt and black pepper but you should do that at some point
