½ red pepper, seeded, diced
310g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
120ml red wine (optional, but recommended)
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil, sliced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 vegetable stock cube
300g fettuccine
Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add all of the ingredients except the pasta.
Bring to the boil, then lower to a simmer and leave it bubbling away for 30–40 minutes or until everything is tender.
