Instructions
Beans
Rinse then soak the garbanzos in 1% salinity water for at least 8 hours. Drain and add the beans to a pressure cooker. Cover with water by at least 1" or so. Add bean spices to the pot, in a spice bag if possible. Set timer for 10 minutes and cook on high pressure. Allow for pressure to release naturally for 25-30 minutes and then release remaining pressure. Drain beans.
Pasta
When the beans are nearly done, boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Prepare the other ingredients.
Once the beans are done, in a large, wide skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and chopped sage and fry for 20 seconds. Pour into a heat-safe bowl and set aside.
In the same skill over medium heat, fry the onion in 1 tbsp olive oil until golden, stirring frequently. Season with the salt, plenty of freshly ground pepper and the pepper flakes.
Turn heat to low. Add the drained chickpeas and mix well. Add the cooked pasta to the chickpeas and onions. Then add the capers. Stir well and turn off the heat.
