Finely minced Garlic is tossed with extra virgin olive oil over high heat – activating the aromatics in the sauce. Once the garlic picks up a hint of color, bloom the red pepper flakes and freshly grated lemon zest to finish the sauce. Toss over delicious Chickpea Spaghetti Pasta with freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, cracked black pepper and flakey sea salt.
