Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 2 cups of pasta water.
In a large skillet preheated to medium high heat, add olive oil and unsalted butter. Next, add in the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes. Add in the carrot and celery. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Next, add in the tomatoes and bay leave. Stir to combine and cook until all the vegetables are tender about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the vegetables have cooked, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add in chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and whipping cream. Pour in 1 cup of reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth. If you need to add more pasta water to make the sauce smoother that's okay!
Add the blended sauce back to the skillet and heat until warmed through and slightly thickened. Next, add in the cooked chickpea spaghetti. Toss to coat and garnish with fresh Parmesan.
