Fremgangsmåte

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and rinse in a fine mesh strainer.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and sauté occasionally stirring around the chickpeas. They will turn crispy and golden in about 5-6 minutes.

Then add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.

Stir in the pasta, lemon juice, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Add the spinach, Pecorino cheese, and parsley. The greens will wilt in a couple minutes.

Top with additional Pecorino before serving.
