Pasta e Ceci

🌍 Italian, Rome/Lazio Difficulty: ●●●○○


Rome's version of pasta with chickpeas is thicker than a soup and thinner than a stew. The chickpeas cook with a branch of rosemary until some break down and thicken the liquid. A small, tubular pasta is correct — ditalini or mezze maniche.

Ingredients

  • 300g ditalini
  • 400g chickpeas, cooked
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 200g canned tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Parmesan

Method

  1. Sautéing — Sauté garlic and rosemary; add tomatoes; cook 5 min.
  2. Adding — Add chickpeas; simmer 15 min. Mash some beans.
  3. Cooking — Cook pasta in the soup; adjust consistency.
