this PASTA with CHICKPEAS is the perfect ITALIAN COMFORT FOOD (Pasta e Ceci) 

Chickpeas are finally getting the love they deserve 😌

This is a super unique and interesting dish. I grew up as an Arab-American eating something similar, but made with cous cous as the "pasta" element, and the chickpeas weren't blended in with the soup. I'll have to give this a try.

Just made a half batch and it came out beautifully, perfect for a Sunday with a high of 6 degrees. Bundling up now for a walk to the market to pick up some good bread, this is a perfect comfort food. Thank you for bringing Pasta e Ceci to my attention and for all of the work and talent you share with us.

If beans of any kind causes stomach bloating, remove the water you seaked the beans in. A lot of the indegestible carbs leaches out into the water. Getting rid of the water and cooking in fresh water remove those carbs and reduces post meal bloating significantly

I love the way you chop properly, but slowly, so it’s a mini tutorial. Also, piano jazz background music is lovely.

Here in Salento, Italy, we make a different pasta with chickpeas. It's called "ciceri e tria" and is made of fresh semolino maltagliati pasta, half boiled in chickpeas soup and half fried then you put all together in the end. Lovely winter warm meal.

This is the most underrated cooking channel on RU-vid

As an Italian. I rate you for this. I prefer the red version. In my village they do a street party In The summer and there’s many old women making pasta e cici in massive silver pans for the whole town

Both these recipes take me back to when I visited my Italian family out in Cali. The next day they would serve this cold and OMG it was still good. Comfort food for sure.

I’ve always had this with a tomato based broth but I like this no-tomato version so much better. It’s wet and icy outside and this was the perfect soup to have. 🙏 thanks

Wow! I didnt expect to see this kind of dish being prepared outside of Italy. As an italian myself I must say that pasta e ceci is my all time favourite pasta, right behind the classic pasta al pomodoro 😄 Thanks for your video!

Wow that looked so easy and so hearty! I will definitely be revisiting this recipe my next grocery trip.

Love the white tile backsplash, of course the pasta dish looks amazing too.

You have literally changed my life! Thank you sir!

Thank you! I had chickpeas & didn’t know what to do with it, this is perfect for fast days, bless you

Great variation of this classic dish - che buona!

Nice! And although you didn't yak on about it...It's vegan! (Well, apart from the cheese at the end.) Which I would smother it with. PS I like that you've brought back saying 'and go feed yourself' at the end.

Perfect for this weather. Thank you.

my friend every recipe you give me is gold

This man has changed my life. I love you sir and I wish you much success

I LOVE your recipes, your presentation, your pacing, and your general cooking/personality style matrix. Thanks for your quality content.

Years ago I was at a great Italian restaurant in Long Beach CA called Papaluchi’s. They had a side of garbanzo beans served cold that was amazing. I could taste the olive oil and I’m pretty sure it had some vinegar in it because it had a tang to it. I wish I had that recipe!

Dang. I have everything I need for this and that’s convenient as it’s snowy and cold out there! Thanks for sharing, Chef. 🙏

This looks utterly amazing!!!! I can almost smell it!

True beautiful cold weather dish!

lovING the vegetarian/vegan content KEEP IT UP !!

My favorite part of this video is the upclose almost slow-mo chopping! So beautifully shot and comforting! Now time to practice more knife skills and make this! 😍

looks really warm and comforting, especially with the pasta. try a swirl of tahini around and on top, should be great

I just made this and my wife loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Great recipe! 😋👌🏻 never tried this one!

I am a Turk, very happy to discover the best food channel I have watched

Wow that looks so comforting 😊 great instruction as usual!

This is going to make an awesome winter weekend soup!

This is almost exactly the way we made it in my dad's shop. They used to like doing it with ziti, but I think ditalini is a better idea since this is brothy

Bravo ! 👍 A “Pasta e Ceci” nice creamy as I like it !

I love your show. I can relate to so many dishes you make. Keep the dishes coming.

This looks REALLY good!! Must try!

This just looks so good!

Great recipe! I put in two small potatoes during the boil to add some extra thickness to the end result. Thank you!

I've never heard of this but it looks sooo good

This looks perfect. I've been trying to think of what else, besides MORE hummus, to use this huge bag of dried chickpeas for. This goes on the list!

OMG that looks so good. I love chick peas. I am DEF going to try this one..... thank you!

Wow great recipe - I'm going to make this for dinner tonight in my instant pot (pressure cook the dried chickpeas with carrot/onion/herbs, then turn on the simmer mode at the end & add the pasta). Thanks!

Looks so simple but tasty! Thanks.

omg this looks so hearty I have to try it

I made this yesterday and it was really good. Though mine wasn't as thick in the end, I cooked the pasta separately (i didn't want the left over pasta in the soup to get all mushy). I added a quart of homemade chicken stock and had some parmesan rinds from the freezer and threw them in too. Will make this again ; )

Simple and delicious. Thank you! I've never seen this dish before.

Made this last night and surprisingly tasty. Dont forget to top with olive oil as a garnish.

OMG! Brilliant! I must and will definitely try!! 😍

Can’t wait to try it ❤

I always look for interesting new pasta dishes. Thankss

That is a beautiful dish. Thank you

I love garbanzo beans! This looks amazing. This dude def has my ❤

Oh superb dish!

Why does he do everything so well? Makes no sense how good he is. Cant wait to make this.

this looks bomb!!

Never tried this before but think i'm going to make it. Looks so yummy!

Oh love chick peas! Thank you for this receipe

You‘re a legend thanks for sharing your creativity.

made this last evening. easy, tasty, filling. thanks. added more veg to the dish.

I like to make a hybrid white and red version... The way you do your white, but also adding in a tablespoon or two of tomato paste when sauteeing the sofrito. Gives a little but more depth in flavor

Great instructional video!

made this last night, 5 stars, a major hit here. Tx!

One of my favorite

I love these blended soup recipes, this one and the pasta e fagioli, but I find that I have to cook the beans much longer than an hour to get them tender enough, even if I soak the beans for 24 hours beforehand. I usually cook them for two hours, but its more time for the flavors to meld :)

Yum. Thanks for sharing

I’m going to try this. But with less olive oil. Thanks man!! ❤

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try this. Would love to see some pressure cooker (Instant Pot) recipes if you don’t mind. 🙂

Watch the multiple videos of how to make this dish and work it out on your own. I made the white version. I would recommend against using any broth because you will be making your own with the celery, onions, carrots, and garlic. I had some sprigs of fresh thyme so I added a sprig along with a sprig of rosemary. Be careful of the amounts of beans and pasta or you'll end up like me and make enough to feed a family of four for two or three days. Not bad if you are part of a family of four but if you're by yourself like I am you're going to be eating it for a week. But it is so good I don't know if it will be burden, it just won't help me lose weight.

Love it!!

Another great video

This is definitely getting made

Great techniques and content.

I'm making this now, smells and looks good!

This looks yummy! I’ve never heard of this before

I’ve never made the white version I’m goi g to try it next time! Looks delicious

SUPERB!!!!

Wow that looks amazing!! Comfort food! I like the way you purée the chic peas I will make a variation of this tonight because I only have canned but I want to make this exact recipe!

Looks so good so hungry, chef.

So delicious.

That does look delicious.

I love you cooking channel! Great Job you always show the best way to cook dishes. Can you please make riso e ceci? I had tried rice with chickpeas from an Italian years ago and it was delicious...I tried to make it but I failed miserably. It was white rice with whole chickpeas, thank you!

I had to subscribe because this is dish 2 of yours that I make i'm impressed they are delicious meals.

Why did I like this? I don’t have any chickpeas but I don’t regret it

Give us a recipe for Pizzoccerie! Had it once in Switzerland, near the Italian border. Very special, very delicious.

Love it👍🏾

Bravo!

I was lied to, I want my wish😂😂

Yum!

Big up leo low pass, the guy's music is great!

Chickpeas are the ultimate pantry staple

Damn. This looks awesome

Instant brown rice as a replacement. YEAH!

This looks so delicious, does it matter that you hand blend the aromatics such as rosemary or should you remove before blending?

if you ad salt to soften legumes (including chickpeas) it is clear that when coocking they throw out all the starch next time use half a teaspoon of baking soda

Chickpeas the great farmers food from Calabria as well as beans

omg yum!

Seems like an amazing dish to finish with a sprinkle of truffle oil

Well that is being added to next weeks meal plan!

nice dish！
