Ingredients for 2 portions

160 g Dry wheat spaghetti
360 g Cooked chickpeas, drained
80 g Onion
8 g Garlic
120 g Chopped canned tomatoes
400 g Prepared vegetable stock
300 g Water
1 g Dried bay leaf
22 g Olive oil
10 g Fresh parsley
3 g Salt
1 g Black pepper

Method

Break 160 g plain egg-free dry wheat spaghetti into roughly 3 cm pieces. Drain 360 g ready-cooked chickpeas. Dice 80 g onion and mince 8 g garlic; chop 10 g parsley. The chickpeas must be fully cooked before the 28-minute clock starts.
Heat 22 g olive oil in a saucepan. Soften the onion for 3 minutes, add garlic for 30 seconds, then add chickpeas, 120 g chopped canned tomatoes, 400 g prepared vegetable stock, 300 g water and 1 g dried bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and mash roughly one third of the chickpeas against the side of the pan to thicken the liquid.
Stir in the broken spaghetti, 3 g salt and 1 g black pepper. Simmer uncovered for about 10–12 minutes, stirring often and adding a splash of extra water only if necessary, until the pasta is fully cooked and the sauce is thick. Remove the bay leaf and divide between two bowls; scatter with parsley. Choose plain egg-free spaghetti and animal-free vegetable stock by label.

Based on Katia’s one-pot pasta e ceci. This quick version omits her potato and uses chopped canned tomatoes instead of concentrated paste; mashed chickpeas thicken the pot. The photo shows anelli rather than broken spaghetti. The 28-minute time assumes drained ready-cooked chickpeas and a fast-cooking pasta packet; it is an editorial estimate, not kitchen-tested. Calories count the full measured olive oil and edible ingredients.
