| 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat. Just as it begins to shimmer, add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, less than a minute. Add the chickpeas with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes or so to soften them. | 2. Add the broth and tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until the flavors merge and the chickpeas are soft, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the basil, and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the basil stems and discard. | 3. In the meantime, bring a pot of salty water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain, reserving some pasta cooking water. | 4. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss well, adding a little pasta cooking water to achieve a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with grated Parmesan and chopped basil. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
