INSTRUCTIONS
Take a pan and sauté pancetta until browned but not too crispy. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate. In a large pan heat olive oil set over medium heat. try Nuvos' B.S.G or Garlic Olive Oil for an added kick. Add onions, cook until softened. Stir in kale, thyme, sage, and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until kale is wilted. Add chickpeas, tomatoes and pancetta. Sprinkle salt as per taste. Now reduce heat to low.
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain and stir into chickpeas-tomatoes-pancetta mixture in the pan. Toss over medium-low heat for about 3 minutes. Make sure the pasta has soaked up most of the sauce but is still very moist. While serving, sprinkle with Pecorino-Romano.
