I absolutely love chickpeas, especially when they’re combined with any sort of pasta, which i’ve really only seen in italian cooking. One of the many reasons I love italian food! your pasta e ceci looks just wonderful – YUM!

Hi Frank,

I love them. My husband does not share my enthusiasm. I fear he is locked into memories of picking “garbanzo beans” off his “mixed green salad” as a kid. Aside from having real flavor, they have numerous health benefits. And you are right about the cost. One can certainly go high, price wise, as with La Valletta brand, but for every day consumption, and especially for those on a budget, they are a smart and astoundingly versatile choice.

If you ask me, ceci are the very tastiest of legumes. And dirt cheap, too—but I’m afraid that their new-found popularity will change that…. Still, nice to know that people are catching on to their charms.

Hello you two!

As with its more famous cousin, Pasta e fagioli, it seems every family has its own version – even within families I have seen variations. This flexibility and adaptive innovation of Italian cuisine both amazes and delights me. Thank you for sharing yours. Stay warm in Minneapolis. Eat Pasta e ceci!
