I made this a couple of weeks ago after wanting something quick but filling. I didn’t realise how tasty this actually would be, so much so that I had another craving for it today and made a HUGE batch to freeze for future feeds.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 diced red onion
• pinch pepper
• 2 tsp garlic mince
• 4 sanitarium vegetarian bacon rashers (other alternatives can be used)
• 150 grams oriental mushrooms
• 2 400 grams organic chickpeas, drained
• 4 tbs lemon juice
• 0.3 cup chopped spinach
• 4 servings cooked fettucine (or other pasta)
• salt and pepper for seasoning
• olive oil for sauteeing onions
• (optional) drizzle truffle oil
• (optional) parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Saute onions and garlic with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the vegetarian bacon and cook until a little brown.
3. Empty the chickpeas into the pan, stirring until warm.
4. Chop the mushroooms into thin slices and mix into the pot.
5. Add the spinach and stir through. At the same time, pour the lemon juice into the pot.
6. Add some more salt and pepper to taste.
7. Mix into the pot the cooked pasta.
8. Upon serving, drizzle some truffle oil and the parmesan which is optional on top!
