Instructions

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook for another minute or so, to let the flavors blend.
  • Add the chickpeas and broth. Simmer for 7-8 minutes until the liquid has reduced by about half.
  • Add the cream and cheese if using, stir and cook over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Add additional water, by the tablespoon, as needed for a thinner sauce.
