Ingredients
For the spinach patties
1 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
100g spinach
15g fresh coriander
100 oats
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp chilli powder
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp baking powder
Oil for frying
For the pasta
200g Spaghetti, cooked according to pack instructions
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 tbsp chilli flakes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 vegetable stock pot
60ml water
50g spinach, chopped
50g peas, thawed
5 sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
Instructions
1. To make the patties - add all the spinach pattie ingredients into a food processor and blitz until you have a smooth mixture. Shape into 12 patties (I used an ice cream scoop for ease), then arrange on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan, and cook the patties for around 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Make sure the patties are piping hot before transferring them onto a plate lined with kitchen towels.
3. To make the spaghetti – Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan, then cook the garlic and chilli flakes for 1 minute.
4. Add in the lemon juice, tomato puree, vegetable stock, spinach, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and water, then cook for another couple of minutes. Fold in the cooked spaghetti and cook until heated through.
5. Take off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh coriander on top. Serve hot with the patties.
Enjoy!
