"Pasta e Ceci isn't just a chickpea and pasta soup; it's a thick, stew-like hug in a bowl that smells exactly like a Roman trattoria. To make it, canned chickpeas are combined with a handful of humble yet flavorful Italian ingredients and mashed until the soup is thick and creamy. This classic Italian soup has been around for ages, but its magic lies in its simplicity. It's proof that you don't need a long grocery list to create a velvety, incredibly rich meal."

Pasta e Ceci is a quick one-pot Italian soup combining canned chickpeas, small pasta, soffritto vegetables, broth, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and Parmesan. Vegetables are sautéed to form a flavor base, then chickpeas and broth are added and partially mashed to create a thick, creamy texture. Cooking pasta directly in the broth concentrates flavor and reduces dishes. The dish is naturally vegetarian, adaptable to gluten-free or vegan diets, and can accept additional vegetables or meats for heartier versions. The simplicity and pantry-friendly ingredients produce a velvety, rich, and comforting meal in about thirty minutes.
