Pasta e Ceci (Pasta With Chickpeas) (Dinner)

Made with yesterday's beans and orechiette. The pasta nested and cooked unevenly. But the alternate beans are solid. Best flavor I've had from this recipe.

Pasta e Ceci (Pasta With Chickpeas) (Dinner)

I discarded some of the bean broth, which meant that I didn't have enough for this recipe. I added 2 cups of chicken broth but it wasn't quite enough, so the pasta ended up a little dry. Also more salt next time.

Pasta e Ceci (Pasta With Chickpeas) (Dinner)

Great once again. I made a bit over 1/2lb of pasta, and that worked well - the feedback was to add more beans next time.

Pasta e Ceci (Pasta With Chickpeas) (Dinner)

With sliced tomatoes, leftover crostini

Made with the black garbanzo beans from yesterday. It was great! Everyone loved it.

I spent a bunch of time picking rosemary leaves out of the beans. I shouldn't have bothered with the rosemary in the beans, as more is added here.

Pasta e Ceci (Pasta With Chickpeas) (Dinner)

With crab

Well received, everyone liked and ate the bean pasta. It was rich, even though it's pretty simple. I'd totally make this again, even with the time it took to make my own chickpeas.

There was a bunch of crab left - for the first time, it was maybe a sign that people liked the pasta?
