"The only thing better than one carb is two: Half-way between a bowl of pasta and a hearty soup, ‘pasta e ceci’ (literally ‘pasta and chickpeas’) is comfort you can eat (cheesy, I know, but it does contain Parmesan). If you’ve got more time and ingredients on your hands, make an Italian soffritto to start with by finely mincing an onion, a stick of celery, carrot, and a couple of garlic cloves and sautéing this mixture. If you can find ditalini pasta, use that, otherwise opt for another small, tube-shaped variety."
