Creamy and slightly chunky — the almond milk and melting camembert create a silky sauce that coats the pasta, while diced tomatoes and whole chickpeas add pleasant bite and body. Tender pasta and softened onions provide a soft, comforting mouthfeel with occasional meaty chickpea texture.
Garlic and sautéed onion give a warm, savory top note, while olive oil and melted camembert contribute buttery, slightly tangy dairy aromas. Ripe tomatoes add a fresh, bright tomatoey scent that balances the richer notes.
A medium-bodied Sangiovese or Chianti to match the tomato acidity and umami, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc/unoaked Chardonnay for a brighter, cream-cutting contrast; alternatively sparkling water with lemon for a non-alcoholic option.
Simple mixed green salad with a lemon vinaigrette, crusty garlic or olive oil bread for sopping up the sauce, or oven-roasted seasonal vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant).
Boil water in a large pot and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add diced tomatoes and chickpeas to the pan. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, breaking up tomatoes with your spoon.
Pour in almond milk and stir gently. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Top with sliced camembert cheese and let it melt for 1-2 minutes before serving.
