Instructions

Cook the pasta as directed in well-salted water.
About few minutes before the pasta is ready, drain enough water so that the pasta is level with the liquid in the pot and return to the cooktop. Add the chick peas.
Next, add the pasta sauce (recipe card below), and keep cooking and stirring the chick peas and pasta.
Add enough sauce so that it's not too watery and the flavor is to your liking. Don't be afraid to keep re-tasting. Once the flavor is to your liking (you may need to add salt), bring it to a boil and then it's ready to serve.
Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired.

Notes

Do not use a can of tomato sauce/passata.
Do not use a can of tomato sauce/passata.
Omit the cheese for vegan pasta.
