Fibre-rich quick spaghetti fix!
Ingredients:

2) Saute chopped onion, garlic, chilli flakes and mixed herbs in oil.
3) Once onions are translucent, add in diced tomato, celery and chickpeas. Cook for around 5 min. Mash a portion of the chickpeas if they are too much.
4) Mix in ketchup, and adjust consistency of sauce with the pasta cooking liquid.

Remarks:
I'm so busy nowadays! Working like a bull 9 hours a day at a measly 5 bucks! It's a hard life as an intern, I can't wait for 6 weeks to be over! Anyway K bought for me a can of chickpeas, and I wanted to try out some new recipes (mock tuna salad, hummus etc) with it. In the end I chose this recipe as it promises a quick and satisfying lunch, and that it was raining (lazy to grab a bite outside before dragging myself to work). I shouldn't have thrown in the whole can, it's way too much! But the overall taste was pretty ok, for I like the nutty taste of chickpeas combined with tomato sauce and herbs :) For improvement, I would only use half a can of chickpeas and one more tomato for more moisture.
