Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
Drain the chickpeas and rinse them with water. Pat try.
In a bowl, mix the peas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, turmeric, pepper & salt.
Spread on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 35-40 minutes until light brown and crunchy.
While the chickpeas are roasting in the oven, cook the spaghetti al dente and set aside.
Heat a dry wok or skillet over medium-low heat and roast the pine nuts for about 4-5 minutes until light brown (stir frequently!). Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for a few minutes (until soft).
Stir in garlic, haricots verts and spiralized zucchini and continue to cook for about 2 minutes (cooking zoodles doesn’t take long).
Add cream, pesto, nutritional yeast and roasted pine nuts. Mix well and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in spaghetti and cook for a few minutes until the spaghetti is warm.
Remove from heat & serve with the roasted chickpeas and some additional nutritional yeast.
