Chickpeas are the basis for this savory Italian stew, which gets an extra kick from a spoonful of intensely flavored pesto at serving time. This recipe calls for making the pesto from scratch because I don’t think storebought pesto can match the flavor of homemade. But premade pesto is a timesaver—not to mention that it makes this recipe a one-pot meal.
