Cooking along: Pasta e Ceci with Nico from Rome 🇮🇹

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start by preparing the chickpeas; use 200 grams of canned chickpeas that are already cooked.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened.

Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant.

Add canned tomatoes and stir to combine.

Add the chickpeas and season with salt and black pepper; simmer for a few minutes.

Cook the pasta separately according to package instructions until al dente; drain.

Combine the cooked pasta with the chickpea mixture; stir to combine.

Finish with lemon juice and chopped parsley before serving.
