Pasta e Ceci with a Twist
We turn the classic pasta e ceci – or “pasta and chickpea” – recipe on its head with a clever twist – hummus on pappardelle! The wide noodles are perfect for a hearty sauce. We recommend a flavored hummus, like roasted red pepper, to give your dish an extra kick of flavor.
