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
