Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook orecchiette according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onion and garlic are both very soft and just beginning to brown, about 5 to 6 more minutes.
  • Add rosemary and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chickpeas, eggplant caponata and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes thicken slightly, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high, add pasta water and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Stir in pasta and cheese.
  • Divide pasta and sauce into bowls. Drizzle with oil, top with cheese and black pepper, and serve.
