Pasta Shells With Chickpeas, Fennel, Tomatoes And Prosciu

Worldliness in the church is the number one enemy, and that comes in when we have unspiritual people, and we have unspiritual people too often because they are nominal Christians. They have the language, they have the outward, but they don’t have the power. So, Paul's words: 'The kingdom of God is not in word but in power.' That whole school of Edwards and Alexander and so on — they believed in the power of religion. You know, men candidating for the ministry, and the minister saying, 'Can he pray down the Holy Spirit?' Imagine that question today. Can a man pray down the Holy Spirit? It’s not perhaps exactly the sentence we would say is completely correct, but you know what they meant... When those men prayed, the Holy Spirit did come down.

Finely chop the anchovies, basil, and garlic and transfer to a small
mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and set aside. Bring a large pot
of well-salted water to a boil and cook the shells. When the pasta is
almost al dente, add the chickpeas to warm them. As soon as the pasta
is al dente, drain it and the chickpeas well. Pour the olive-oil
mixture into the pot, add the pasta and chickpeas, and toss  thoroughly
with the fennel, tomatoes, and prosciutto. Season with  pepper and let
the pasta rest for 3 to 5 min., loosely covered. Toss  with the grated
Parmesan, if you like, and serve.  Posted to recipelu-digest by molony
