Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil (use the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes)
- 3 shallot finely diced
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 130 g sun-dried tomatoes chopped, ½ cup
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper plus more to serve, ground
- 1 tsp italian herbs (seasoning)
- pinch red pepper flakes , or more to taste
- 200 g chickpeas drained and rinsed * see note 1, 7 oz
- 980 ml vegetable broth 4 cups
- 200 g ditalini pasta or 200g (1 cup) orzo, 2 cups
- 120 ml cream heavy / double, ½ cup
- 90 g spinach roughly chopped, fresh, 3 cups
- 55 g Parmesan Cheese freshly-grated, ½ cup
- 1 lemon , zest only
Instructions
- 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.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning.
- Add the chickpeas and vegetable broth and bring to a rolling simmer.
- 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.
- Pour in the cream and add the Parmesan, stirring so it melts into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in the spinach so that it wilts and add the lemon zest. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Serve with an extra sprinkling of grated Parmesan.

Notes
- NOTE 1: I used a 1 can (400g /14oz) of chickpeas with a drained weight of approximately 200g /7oz. You can double up on the chickpeas if you like!
