Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed 
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic  minced
  • 1 medium red onion  diced
  • 1 box baby spinach
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 can diced tomatoes fire roasted 
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 small jar kalamata olives drained
  • 1/2 box linguine 100% whole wheat
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil  extra virgin
  • 3/4 cup feta  crumbled

Instructions
 

Make the One Pot Pasta

  • In a large pot, add olive oil and turn on the burner to slightly over medium.
    3 tbsp olive oil 
  • Add the red onion to the pot, sauté 3 minutes.
    1 medium red onion 
  • Add the garlic to the pot. Sauté another minute.
    6 cloves fresh garlic 
  • Add drained and rinsed chickpeas. Sauté until they lightly brown and crack open slightly. To prevent burning, it helps to stir regularly.
    1 can chickpeas
  • Add the tomatoes. Continue to sauté another 1-2 minutes.
    1 can diced tomatoes
  • Add the vegetable stock. Add the oregano. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
     
    1/2 tsp dried oregano, 2 cups vegetable stock, salt, pepper
  • Break the pasta in half, place it in the pot. Use a large spoon to push down the pasta so it is submerged in the stock liquid. If it's not submerged, add a little more vegetable stock.
    1/2 box linguine
  • Continue cooking on medium high for 8-9 minutes.
  • Try a noodle. When the pasta is al dente the stock should be mostly absorbed by the pasta. Remove from heat.
  • Stir. Add kalamata olives (not the juice!). Add the feta.
    1 small jar kalamata olives, 3/4 cup feta 
  • Gently fold baby spinach into the pasta.  
    1 box baby spinach
  • Serve and enjoy!
