Instructions

Step 1

Start your prep by dicing the red onion, red bell pepper, and mincing/finely chopping the garlic cloves

Step 2

On a pan over medium high heat, add your olive oil, red onion, and bell pepper. Stir often and cook for 4 minutes or until they soften slightly.

Step 3

Add in the garlic, cherry tomatoes, and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the veggies, change heat to medium, pour in 1/4 cup water and immediately cover and let cook for another 10 minutes.

Step 4

While it’s cooking start boiling water to prepare your chickpea pasta.

Step 5

After 10 minutes, the cherry tomatoes should have burst. Use a wooden spatula or potato masher to squish the cherry tomatoes and combine the sauce.

Step 6

Add a tbsp of harissa and your spinach and mix together. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add in your chickpea pasta and mix to combine.

Step 8

Serve with Zhoug and Parmesan! I’d recommend around 1 tsp Zhoug per serving
