* Substitute Tomato sauce for 2 cups of diced san marzano plum tomatoes.
Optional: if you use diced tomatoes then add some additional herb seasoning of choice to your dish (i.e Parsley - try not to use dry herbs).
**If you don't have an immersion blender then you can puree one can of chickpeas with a few tablespoons of liquid in the blender. Keep it a little chunky. Then saute the puree with the whole chickpeas in the olive oil and garlic. Or use a handheld potato masher.
