One-Pot Pasta with Chickpeas

Recipe Description

I adore this delicious Italian classic One-Pot Pasta with Chickpeas or Pasta e Ceci as they say in Rome! This vegan pasta is creamy and delicious. It’s healthy too and takes just 30 minutes to prepare and cook.

Start by sauteing onion, carrot, celery, and rosemary to make the chickpea sauce. Add vegetable broth and simmer until softened. Blend about half of the mixture and return to the pan. Add pasta – I like to use small pasta like shells, orecchiette, or ditali. Cook while frequently stirring until tender. Serve drizzled with olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and grated vegan cheese.

To make One-Pot Pasta with Chickpeas, you will need the following ingredients:
