Pasta e Ceci with Garbanzo Beans and Egg Sheet Pasta | DaTerra Cucina

There’s something incredibly satisfying about a bowl of Pasta e Ceci. It’s made from a short list of pantry staples—ceci (garbanzo) beans, tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, pasta, and olive oil—but the way they come together feels like a warm hug in a bowl.

This version is cooked in a DaTerra Cucina pot, where the beans, tomatoes, and aromatics slowly transform into a stew-like base that coats every piece of pasta.
