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.

Once the onion starts to caramelize, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Add garlic, oregano, chilli flakes and continue to fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.

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.

Turn off the stove. Garnish it with finely chopped parsley and a drizzle of a good quality olive oil.
