Marry Me Chickpeas and Orzo

shallot, thinly sliced

garlic,

chickpeas, drained

tomato paste

orzo (love this DeLallo orzo!)

chicken broth

thyme

heavy cream

tomato

spinach,

red pepper flakes, and more thyme for topping

Aromatics and Chickpeas

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and the garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the chickpeas and tomato paste; sauté for another 2-3 minutes until it has developed a deeper red color.

Cook Orzo

Add the orzo, chicken broth, and thyme sprigs; bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes.

Finish Sauce

Remove the thyme sprigs. Keep the heat on low. Stir in the cream and simmer for 2-3 more minutes, until it&#8217;s totally luscious and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more cream if you want.

Add-Ins

Add your sun dried or fresh tomatoes and spinach, and stir them in until the spinach is wilted. Serve sprinkled with fresh herbs (I like thyme) and Parmesan.
