Instructions

  • Get the pasta on to cook
  • Heat a very generous glug of olive oil in a pan - and I do mean generous. Add the halved tomatoes and heat on high until they start to burst and smoosh.
  • Season well.
  • Add the chickpeas including their liquid.
  • Heat on high until it reduces and looks thick and delicious.
  • Tear the mozzarella into chunks and add the creme fraiche. Stir well, season and set aside
