Ingredients

140 grams of chickpea fettuccine
2 - 3 cloves of garlic, grated or minced
1 medium sized zucchini, grated
12 small grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup of passata
1-2 tablespoons of water (only add if needed)
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
2 cups of baby spinach, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, sliced
2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of sliced kalamata olives (add more if you like)
Large pinch of sea salt

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to the boil for the pasta & cook the pasta as per the instructions.  Chickpea pasta normally only takes around 6 mins, so your sauce will be ready at the same time.
  2. In another small pot heat the oil to a medium heat.  Add the garlic, zucchini & tomatoes and cook for around a minute.  Then add the passata, onion powder, salt.  Only adding some water if it's too thick. Simmer for around 3 minutes.  Check during cooking if you need to add some water. Keeping it thicker is better.
  3. Then add the spinach, basil & olives and cook until the spinach is wilted.  Around 30 seconds or so.
  4. When the pasta is ready, drain it well & add it directly into the sauce and mix gently. 
  5. Serve in a bowl & enjoy!
Note: if you precook the pasta you will need to run it under cold water, then heat it up with the sauce later.  Also, with these grain free pastas they may not absorb the sauce like normal pasta.
