Ingredients for 4 people:

150 gr of 00 flour
150 gr of re-milled durum wheat semolina
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
For the chickpeas:

80 gr of white onions
2 cloves of garlic
3 sprigs of rosemary
1 fresh chili
Extra virgin olive oil
3 bay leaves
350 gr of vegetable stock
250 ml of seed oil

Soak the chickpeas the night before and prepare the vegetable stock; then chop the onion finely. Meanwhile, in a large pan pour the oil and two whole cloves of garlic peeled and then remove when well browned. Pour the chopped onion and cook over low heat adding water or vegetable stock. After 10 minutes, add the chopped pepper, rosemary and bay leaf.
Drain the chickpeas and pour them in the pan and let them cook covered with lid for about 2 hours, adding vegetable stock little by little.
Prepare the fresh pasta by sifting in a bowl the “00” flour and the re-milled semolina, then gradually pour the water at room temperature and the olive oil and knead until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, to wrap in film and let it stand for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Then, roll out the dough to create a sheet 2-3 mm thick. Make tagliatelle dividing into pieces of 8-9 cm in length and giving them a spiral shape. Then, let it dry for at least 2 hours. In a saucepan bring the seed oil to a temperature of 170 ° and fry 40% of the dried pasta. When the fried pieces are golden, drain them. Meanwhile, boil the pasta for about 1 minute and then add it to the chickpeas cooked in the pan. Serve the pasta and chickpeas and garnish with the fried tria. The result is a guaranteed!
