Method

1. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add a drop of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add pasta and chickpeas. Cook for 10-12 mins, till pasta is to your liking.
2. Shave the fennel into wisps using a veg peeler (see our handy video Fab Ways with Fennel online). Add the fennel to the pot a minute before it’s done. Drain into a colander or sieve.
3. Pop the sausages out of their skins. Shape into little meat balls. Put the pasta pan back on the heat. In a little olive oil, cook the sausage till golden and cooked through. Add the garlic, chilli and fennel seeds. Sizzle till just soft.
4. Fold in the pasta, chickpeas, fennel, lemon juice and zest to taste. Season. Finish with parsley
