Ingredients
- 12 oz of spaghetti
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup onions finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups spinach
- 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1/2 tablespoon of rosemary
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- freshly grated parmesan optional
- chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions and set aside. Save one cup of pasta water.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté till well roasted. Add salt to speed up the process.
- Add the rosemary and mix well. Sauté for about a minute.
- Add a little bit more oil and then add the chickpeas and the spinach. Mix and sauté for about a minute. The spinach will start wilting and the chickpeas will start darkening.
- Now add the heavy cream and mix well. Add salt and pepper and let it all simmer together for about 3-4 minutes. The chickpeas will soften, and the spinach will get cooked. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little but of the saved pasta water.
- Take it off heat and add the cooked spaghetti. Combine well.
- Garnish with pepper, parmesan and chili flakes.
