Pasta e Ceci is a humble Italian dish, but don’t let the simple ingredients fool you—the flavors are rich and impressive. Each bite is filled with pasta and chickpeas in a creamy base infused with flavors from fresh sage & rosemary and Parmigiano Reggiano. If you love pasta e fagioli, you will love this dish!

Sure looks good Bethany. Will be trying this. Much appreciated!
IT LOOKS DELICIOUS AND AS BEAUTIFUL 😍 AS YOU!!❤
I have never heard of that dish but it’s certainly going to be cooked very soon, thank
Oh boy open the belt another notch……I'll try it Saturday for dinner
Had me at Chickpeas! I eat them alot. This looks really tasty, I really like how you thickened it up with its own flavors instead of adding something like heavy cream that would dilute it.
Well Done
Great video, I also add italian sausage cut up in small pieces.
I don't like chickpeas, but that looks amazing! thank you
Hi Bethany
Well now iv never had Pasta e Ceci before but my three lady's here love chickpeas, and i make Hummus's at least once a week, so this will suit them down to the ground.
Like you said in the clip this is a hearty warming dish which i will make for a cold Saturday Lunch, maybe with some of your lovely Rosemary Garlic bread.
Will let you know what i think,
Chris.
PS – Why did the pasta call up his friend?
He was feeling cannelloni.
🤔I was looking for something new to pair chickpeas with. 😮 Now, those are healthy looking onions!
wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. my mother in law made this often for us when I ate over on weekends. thought it was kind of strange at first but grew into one of my favorite dishes. next chilly day I’m going to make it for my wife as a surprise. thanks.
Hey Bethany couldn't you show us this recipe 2 days ago… I had chic peas with rice 😂…. All good the next time chic peas with pasta.
Thank you.🤣👍
My best cook is back again with another delicious dish. I will definitely try this.
One feedback: don’t warm the video so much, it just warming up the skin and may not be very interactive for watching for some people. It is just a suggestion.
I think I just found my first fall soup. My mouth hasn’t stopped watering yet. Thanks.
Oh, thank you for this beautiful dish! My dear mum used to make a version of it for me when I was a child. I'll be making yours this weekend in memory of mum!
Oh, and thanks for the shout out! As we know, parmigiano makes everything better 😅
A perfect Dish, just like you:) Great for Fall Weather! Very comforting.
As always you dish looks great made your short rib ragu last night it was unbelievable thank you.
Hi Bethany! Parmigiana Reggiano IS essential!😂. I’ve never tried this soup, but it looks like one that would go well on a chilly fall Saturday afternoon….great work!💜
Love them thanks !
what if we don't have "1 small bundle or sprig of fresh sage &
1-2 fresh rosemary sprigs". Can we use dried, if so how much of each?
You were playing both the Olive Garden server and customer with that Parmesan cheese. Say when….NEVER!
Yummy 😋! I can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!!! 💖💖
Delicious and comforting would be two of many superlatives I would use to describe YOU.

Always wonder if heating up the leftovers will make the pasta mushy ?
