Method
Step 1
Heat 2 tbs oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook prosciutto, turning, for 6 mins or until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Add carrots, onions, celery, garlic, tomato paste and rosemary to the pan. Season. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until vegetables are tender.
Step 2
Add the stock, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, 2 cups (500ml) water and 2 tsp salt to the pan. Cut rind from the parmesan and add to the pan, reserving remaining parmesan. Increase heat to medium. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 mins. Add the pasta and return to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins or until pasta is just tender. Remove from heat. Add spinach and stir until just wilted.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon rind, 2 tsp lemon juice and the remaining oil.
Step 4
Break the prosciutto into pieces and stir into the soup. Ladle the soup among serving bowls and top with the parsley mixture. Finely grate reserved parmesan over the soup. Top with prosciutto and season with pepper to serve.
