    Title: Tuscan, Chickpea Pasta with Parsley Pesto
    Categories: Italian, Pasta, Herb, Sauces, Eggs
    Yield: 8 Servings

    THE PASTA:
    3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    2 Cloves garlic; minced
    1 ts Chopped fresh rosemary
    2 c Unbleached flour
    1/2 c Chick-pea flour
    3 Eggs; lightly beaten
    1 ts Salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    THE PESTO:
    1 c Packed parsley leaves
    1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 c Walnut pieces
    1 cl Garlic; peeled, halved
    Salt and pepper
    1/4 c Fresh grated Parmiagiano
    Reggiano; for garnish

    Heat the oil in a small skillet and saute the garlic over low heat
    for 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and saute for 30 seconds more.

    Meanwhile, combine the flours in a heap on a pastry board. Make a
    well in the center and add the eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour the
    garlic, rosemary and oil into the well. Proceed making the pasta
    according to the directions in your pasta machine book.

    When the pasta sheet is ready for cutting, run it through the
    widest cutting blades.

    To make the pesto: Place all ingredients (parsley through garlic)
    in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Place in a
    large pasta bowl.

    Cook the pasta for 5 minutes in boiling salted water, drain, and
    place in bowl with the pesto. Toss until all the strands are well
    coated, sprinkle with additional cheese, and serve immediately.

    VARIATIONs: Pasta machines only allow two basic variations with
    respect noodle width (although extra rollers can be purchased that
    create anything from angel hair to pappardelle. For additional
    variety lay the final sheet on a floured board and cut into creative
    shapes squares, rectangles, hearts, diamonds.

    MAKE AHEAD: The pasta can be made up to 1 day in advance and
    refrigerated or frozen.

    ... Oversauced pasta is soup; it should be dressed, not drowned
