Chickpea and Courgette Spaguetti Recipe. In this recipe I have used regular pasta because I have no reason to use a gluten-free alternative. If you have Coeliac disease or a gluten intolerance, a gluten-free pasta from the supermarket works exceptionally well in this recipe too.
Ingredients
– 1/3 courgette, cut into strips
– 3 garlic cloves, sliced
– 1 tsp sundried tomato pesto
– 1/2 tin chickpeas
– Handful of spinach
– Freshly ground black pepper
– Parmesan
Method
1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to packet instructions.
2. Cook the courgette and garlic in a non-stick pan for 10 minutes until beginning to soften. Mix in the pesto, chickpeas and approx. 2 tbsp pasta water.
3. When the pasta is cooked, drain and fold into the veggie/pesto mix along with the spinach.
4. Serve with a sprinkle of pepper and parmesan.
