    Quoting Michael Loo to All <=-

    Mark ...
    also sacrificed a jar of Sechler's sweet orange strip pickles
    from his pantry. These were exceedingly sweet and just a tad
    orangey

    These sound intriguing. I'm not familiar with Sechler's or orange
    strip pickles. So are they cucumber pickles with some orange juice,
    peel or oil in the brine or pickled orange rinds? And what would
    they go with?



    Cheers

    Jim

    Title: Creamy Chickpea Pasta w/Spinach & Rosemary
    Categories: Greens, Beans, Dairy, Pasta, Herbs
    Yield: 4

    Salt
    1/4 c Olive oil
    14 oz Can chickpeas; rinsed,
    - drained
    2 ts Fine chopped fresh rosemary;
    - more for garnish
    1/2 ts Aleppo pepper
    +=OR=+
    1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes; (opt)
    Black pepper
    1 lg Shallot; fine chopped
    2 cl Garlic; fine chopped
    1 c Heavy cream
    6 oz Bag baby spinach (abt 6
    - packed cups)
    12 oz Spaghetti or bucatini
    1/2 c Fine grated Parmesan
    Lemon wedges; for serving

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

    In a wide, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high.
    Add the chickpeas, rosemary and chile pepper. Season
    generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring
    occasionally, until chickpeas start to caramelize at
    their edges and pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted
    spoon, transfer about half the chickpeas to a bowl.
    Reserve for garnish.

    Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots and garlic
    to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook,
    stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened,
    about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cook until
    slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat,
    stir in the spinach and season to taste with salt and
    pepper.

    Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce the heat
    to medium. Cook the pasta until a couple minutes short
    of al dente according to package instructions, about 5
    minutes. Do not drain the pasta, but using tongs,
    transfer the pasta directly from the pot to the spinach
    and cream sauce. Add 1 cup pasta cooking water and the
    Parmesan, and cook over medium-high, stirring vigorously
    with the tongs, until the sauce is thickened and the
    noodles are al dente, about 2 minutes. Add a splash of
    pasta water to loosen sauce, if needed.

    Transfer to bowls, and top with reserved chickpeas,
    rosemary and black pepper. Serve immediately, with lemon
    wedges for squeezing on top.
