Pasta ripiena di Ceci
Cuisine:
Italian
This dish is my way of creating awareness in promoting the concept of "Alternate proteins" . Chickpeas has been used for the stuffing which are an amazing source of protein and can easily replace any other animal protein. Also the flavours of Italy has been incorporated, staying true to the basics of hand crushed pomodoro, fresh basil for seasoning and fresh hand made pasta. It's my way of showing my gratitude towards the country of origin of Pasta , Italy !! It's healthy, vegetarian, rustic yet elegant. Mama Mia!!
