Chickpea Pasta with Spinach is a wholesome, protein-packed meal that’s quick to prepare and full of flavor. This vibrant dish combines chickpea pasta with nutritious spinach, sautéed with garlic and a splash of vegetable broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz chickpea pasta (such as rotini or spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (about 4 handfuls)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for added brightness)
  • Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the chickpea pasta according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes for rotini). Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Add vegetable broth (or water) if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Stir in lemon juice if desired, and serve garnished with Parmesan cheese, if using.
