- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved

- Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add the chickpeas (along with the liquid) and the smoked paprika. If you don’t want to add the liquid from the can, just add about 100ml of water/stock!

- Stir in the parmesan, then top with the chopped parsley and the extra virgin olive oil. And that’s everything!
