  • 14 ounce can garbanzos
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring the water to boil for the pasta. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable broth in a nonstick frying pan. Add the onions, garlic and zucchini, mushrooms, and peppers. Cook for a few minutes on a medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Add the chopped tomatoes and lemon juice. Cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the chickpeas and chopped basil (or dried). Add additional salt and basil to taste, if needed. Add the nutritional yeast flakes.
  • Mix the sauce with the spaghetti. Serve and enjoy!
  • CHEF’S NOTE: For quicker preparation, try 2 cups canned diced tomatoes in place of fresh.
