- Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and carrot with a pinch of salt for 8 mins or until lightly golden. Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs and chillies and fry for another 2 mins. Squeeze in the tomato purée, stir through and cook for 1 min.
- Pour in the tinned tomatoes, then fill the tin half-full with water and swirl into the pan. Bring to a simmer, stir in the chickpeas, then cook for 13-15 mins until rich and thickened. Use a potato masher to lightly mash half the chickpeas into the sauce
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta to pack instructions, adding the kale for the last 2 mins. Drain, reserving a mugful of pasta water. Add the pasta and kale to the sauce, with enough of the reserved water to loosen. Season to taste, stirring over a low heat, then divide among bowls. Finish with a twist of black pepper and drizzle with the remaining oil to serve.
