▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 – 4 servings)

2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive oil
150g / 1 cup Onion – finely chopped – 1 medium size onion
150g / 1 cup Celery – finely chopped – 3 celery stalks
150g / 1 cup Carrot – finely chopped – 2 medium carrots
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt)
1 Tablespoon garlic – finely chopped (3 to 4 cloves of garlic)
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 Teaspoon Chilli flake (Optional)
2 cups / (1 Can 540 ml) Cooked chickpeas
1+1/2 cup / 350ml Strained tomatoes/Passata
4 cups / 1 Liter Water
160g / 2 cups approximately – Pasta (mini rigatoni) or pasta of choice

▶️Garnish:
1/3 cup / 15g Parsley – finely chopped
Drizzle of Olive oil – 1 to 2 Tbsp (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)

▶️ METHOD:

To a heated pan add olive oil, onion , celery, carrot, salt (½ tsp). Fry on medium high heat until the onions are soft and just starts to caramelize. Adding salt to the vegetables will make it cook faster and will season it as well (it’s an important step so please do not skip it). Once the onion starts to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low (depending of the heat of your stove). Add garlic, oregano, chilli flakes and continue to fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

If at any point the pan gets over heat reduce the heat.

Now add the cooked chickpeas, strained tomatoes/passata , water and mix well. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes on low heat for the flavours to develop.

After 15 minutes, uncover the pot and increase the heat to medium and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the pasta and salt and cook uncovered on medium heat until the pasta is al dente. I have added mini rigatoni pasta but you can use any shape/size of pasta of choice.

Please note by the time the pasta if cooked most of the water will be gone and you will be left a creamy sauce. If it happened that the water cooks out faster and the pasta is still not cooked, add some boiling water to it. Please DO NOT add cold water. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce as per your liking whether you want it soupy or thick.

Turn off the stove. Garnish it with finely chopped parsley and a drizzle of a good quality olive oil. Mix well. Ready for serve.

▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:

– Adding salt while frying the onion and vegetables will make it cook faster and season it as well, it’s an important step so please do not skip it

– Every stove is different so adjust the heat accordingly to your stove

– you can always adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking, if you want it soupy or thick creamy

– If it happened that the water cooks out faster than anticipated and the pasta is still not cooked, add some boiling water to it. Please DO NOT add cold water to this otherwise it will ruin the taste of the dish

– It’s important that you garnish the pasta with fresh herbs and a good quality olive oil, it will complete the dish

Enjoy!

  1. I tried this recipe today. Didn't like the flaour. I did not have celery sticks on hand so I left it out. The carrots I had were probably too old. That too did not have a good flavour. The sauce was bland. Overall this did not come out good for me. I will try it again with fresher ingredients.

  2. I just discovered your channel. You have a great collection of healthy, bright and easy to make vegetarian dishes. Your videos are artfully made. Thank you for your work!
    P.S. Is it possible to add the links to the pots and pans you are using in your video?

  3. I just finished making this recipe. Not bad at all! I didn't put in the chili flakes but in hindsight they would have added a bit of flavour to the dish. Very easy to make and I appreciated the metric measurements. Thank you.

  4. This is libyan🇱🇾 fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood يااااا 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

  5. This deceptively simple recipe is just excellent. How so few ingredients can be this good is something of a mystery to me. I did not use the parsley (not in season here), that would have made it a little better better, but really excellent without. Thanks.

  6. Too much oil – a double portion that is pure liquid fat and has no nutritional value. You could eat double the portion of pasta if you sauteed the ingredients without oil and didn't drizzle more oil on the finished dish. Oil just adds heaviness and calories.

  7. Very nice and I tend to now cook this way. However, I’m never going back to Pasta made with wheat when there are much more healthier pasta out there made with lentils, chickpeas etc and taste just like pasta – really yummy. Therefore, if you feel like a second helping you are still fine to do so rather than getting an insulin spike or disease causing do to too much inflammation. Cos wheat is in everything, bread etc.

  8. I made this but added a few more veggies. I've always made one-pot pasta dishes but changed my method to match yours (excluding oil) this time. The flavor difference was marked. Thank you. Plus, I like the aesthetic and tone of your videos. They're relaxing and cheering. Thank you.

  9. Thanks. I cooked your recipe last night.It turned out very well. Thanks
    Except for one little change I made. I did not have any fresh parsley, and it was too cold and snowy to make a trip to the local grocery store. Being Indian, I always have lots of cilantro and mint leaves in my fridge. So, instead of parsley, I chopped up some cilantro and some mint leaves and put them into the pot as the finishing touch. I know it wasnt just exactly as you made it, but, it sure tasted good.
    Thank you again.
