--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8       oz           Dry chick peas, soaked
   1       lb           Elbow macaroni
   2       ea           Garlic cloves, crushed
   2       tb           Olive oil
   1       tb           Basil
   1       tb           Parsley
                        Olive oil for drizzling

  Drain & wash chick peas.  Cook for 50 to 60 minutes,
  or until tender.
  
  Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a large pan of boiling
  water, lightly salted for 10 minutes, or until just
  resistant to the bite.  Drain.
  
  Saute garlic in a large skillet in olive oil for a few
  minutes.  Add cooked, drained chick peas & macaroni.
  Mix in the basil & parsley.  Cook over a very low
  heat, stirring occasionally, til the flavours are
  absorbed & the mixture is heated through.  Season with
  salt & pepper & serve hot with a crisp green salad.
