This divine chickpea puttanesca is a twist on a classic spaghetti alla puttanesca. It is loaded with protein and fiber and is bursting with Mediterranean flavor thanks to the addition of artichokes, olives, and capers. It is a wonderful vegetarian dinner option and can be served with rice, pasta, or over a piece of fresh sourdough bread!


Ingredients

1 tbsp
oil
1
yellow onion, diced
3
garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp
red pepper flakes
1 tbsp
tomato paste
1
28-oz can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2
15-oz cans chickpeas
1 cup
marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1/4 cup
sliced Kalamata olives
2 tbsp
capers
2 tbsp
chopped fresh parsley
1/2
lemon, juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the chickpeas, artichoke hearts, olives, and capers. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
