Lemon Spinach Farfalle
Recipe by Katie Farina. Bright, flavorful pasta made easy! Combine olive oil, garlic, and fresh lemon for a zesty sauce that perfectly complements this light vegan pasta dish.

- Make the crispy garlic chickpeas: Preheat oven to 350° F.. Mix all ingredients. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until lightly golden. Salt to taste and set aside.
- Make the pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions in plenty of salted boiling water. Be sure to reserve ¼ cup of pasta water, which you’ll use later to loosen the sauce and add another layer of flavor to the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat a large sauté pan over low heat, once the pan is hot, add olive oil. Once oil is hot add garlic, sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add lemon zest (from only the first layer of the lemon) and lemon juice.
- Add cooked pasta to pan along with reserved pasta water, then add spinach and mix until spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Salt to taste. Garnish with Crispy Garlic Chickpeas.
