-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 garlic cloves -- coarsely chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 can garbanzo beans with their liquid -- (19 ounce)

1 pound orzo

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or parsley

Kosher salt and freshly ground black

pepper to taste

 

 

 

 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.

Meanwhile, combine the garlic and oil in a large saucepan over low

heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden, about 5

minutes. Stir in the dried oregano, then the beans and their liquid.

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the garbanzos are

heated through, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

 

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the water and cook until barely tender,

about 7 minutes. Drain the pasta well. Stir into the simmering beans.

Add the fresh oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
