INGREDIENTS

2 Cans chickpeas, do not drain
1/2 Cup water
1 15oz. Can chopped tomatoes in juice
2 Cloves of garlic minced
1/2 Onion, chopped
1/8 Stick margarine (optional), tastes better with it.

1 Cup elbow macaroni
Handful of capers, if desired, or splash of vinegar

Other vegetables can be added, such as Brussels sprouts or artichoke hearts.

METHOD

In a deep frying pan, saute garlic and onion in olive oil. Add chickpeas with liquid. Heat for an additional 5-7 minutes. Add spinach and tomatoes with juice. Add margarine if desired; add 1/2 cup of water. Add capers, if desired.

Bring to a boil while stirring occasionally, then add macaroni. Let simmer until it thickens a bit, about 10-15 minutes and the macaroni is done (This tastes better the longer it simmers.) Salt and pepper to taste.
