Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add onions and rosemary sprig; cook 6 to 7 minutes, until onions soften.Stir in tomato paste, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing tomato paste to caramelize.

Add chickpeas and stir to coat. Use the back of a fork (or spoon) to mash about half of the chickpeas while they simmer. (This helps create a creamier broth.) Sauté chickpeas for 3 minutes total. Add broth and stir to release any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring mixture to a boil, add pasta, and season with salt and pepper. Slightly reduce heat to bring soup to a simmer.Simmer, uncovered, until pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.

Remove rosemary sprig and stir in kale (or escarole) and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Continue cooking, uncovered, until the greens are wilted, about 2 more minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with additional grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
