Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the shallots and minced garlic. Stir over low heat for about five minutes, until slightly softened.
  2. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add the chickpeas and vegetable broth and bring to a rolling simmer.
  4. Stir in the pasta and lower the heat so you have a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but al dente, about 12-14 minutes, or per pack instructions.
  5. Pour in the cream and add the Parmesan, stirring so it melts into the creamy sauce.
  6. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts and add the lemon zest. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed.
  7. Serve with an extra sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

Notes
