  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

    Prepare the Ingredients

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    Add the Sauce and Chickpeas

    Add white portions of green onions and garlic to hot pan. Stir occasionally until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

  5. 5

    Add Pasta and Finish Dish

    Add cooked pasta to hot pan.

    Stir occasionally until combined and sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
