Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup coarsely chopped arugula
2 ounces prosciutto -- diced
7 ounces chickpeas, canned -- or garbanzos (1 can), drained
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people
freshly ground black pepper
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute fresh herbs, arugula and lemon peel for 1 minute. Add prosciutto and chickpeas or garbanzos and mix well.

Add pasta and black pepper and toss together. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

The bitter flavor of the arugula, or rocket, complements that of the chickpeas in this classic from the city of Potenza in the Southern Appenines. When I ate there, gnarled olive trees clung to the hillsides below the restaurant terrace and the air was full of the scent of the proprietor's herb garden.
