11 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1 red onion, chopped finely
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup mushroom, sliced
28 ounces chopped tomatoes, from a can
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
10 ounces chickpeas, from a can, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

1
Put spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water and cook as long as the packet suggests. Mine takes 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan and spray with low fat cooking spray.
3
Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms and sautee until they start to get soft which was about 5 minutes for me. If they start to stick just put in a splash of water. This is a good way to 'fry' things without fat.
4
Add the tomatoes, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and salt and pepper and lightly simmer for about 8 minutes stirring frequently.
5
Stir in the chickpeas and heat just long enough to cook through, about 3 minutes.
6
Stir in the fresh herbs and just mix through until they start to wilt.
7
Add in cooked spaghetti and stir to make sure all of the pasta is coated in the sauce.
8
Serve.
