Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pan salted water to the boil, add the spaghetti to and cook for 1 minute less than pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mug of the cooking water. Meanwhile, heat the Flora in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the crushed garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt and fry gently for 2 more minutes.





Step 2
Add the chickpeas to the pan and fry for 2-4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the Violife Creamy Original with the nutritional yeast, lemon zest, some freshly ground black pepper and 5 tbsp of the pasta cooking water.






Step 3
Add the drained pasta to the frying pan with the spinach and chickpeas. Add 3 tbsp more of the reserved pasta cooking water, then stir over the heat. Take off the heat, then stir through the creamy mixture and the lemon juice. Season and toss with the parsley before serving. Finish with more ground black pepper.
