Meanwhile, while pasta is cooking, combine Bacon Chickpea Sauce ingredients in a small jug.
Heat a frying pan to medium heat. When heated, add rinsed chickpeas to cook.
Pour approximately 2/3 of the bacon chickpea sauce ingredients over the chickpeas. Reserve remaining sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has disappeared.
Turn the heat down to low. Add pasta, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach to the chickpeas in the frying pan. Pour over the remaining bacon chickpea sauce.
Stir until pasta is coated with sauce and baby spinach has wilted slightly.
Either serve warm, topped with parmesan, or store in a sealed container in the fridge.
