Pasta with Chickpeas and Spinach

I just back from a very nice, warm Mainz. We had such a good time, eating and drinking ice cold beers! Over here in South Africa it is very cold and we are in need of some warm food. So here is a nice recipe!

Pasta with Chickpeas and Spinach

Ingredients:

300g spaghetti (or other pasta)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced (or one if too strong)
1 teaspoon fresh dill
2 cups tightly packed, chopped spinach
1 can chickpeas,drained
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook pasta al dente

Heat oil in medium skillet (nonstick is better) and sautee onion, garlic and dill over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Add spinach and chickpeas and continue to cook for about 3 minutes.

Drain pasta. Add lemon juice and pepper to spinach mixture and mix into pasta.

Serve!

Serving: Two small portions
