Italian food is often at its best very simple, but Italians take it very seriously. &nbsp;When it comes to food preparation, Italians are very traditional.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13739\" width=\"705\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5.png 940w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-24x20.png 24w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-36x30.png 36w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/5-48x40.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you have an Italian student in your host family, they are great to cook for because they are very enthusiastic about food, but they do probably have quite sophisticated tastes.

However, the dish of Pasta e Ceci (chickpeas and pasta) is simple and fast to make using ingredients you probably already have at home. The resulting dish is a wonderful &amp; hearty Italian comfort food and a fresh take from most of the pasta dishes you\u2019ve probably ever had. It\u2019s vegetarian and can even be made vegan if you use pasta without eggs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You don\u2019t need to get fancy and soak the chickpeas! In my opinion it\u2019s better and creamier using canned ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most pastas this dish is more like a hearty stew &#8211; so it\u2019s even better as leftovers &#8211; after all the flavors all sit together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13740\" width=\"705\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6.png 940w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-24x20.png 24w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-36x30.png 36w, https:\/\/www.educatius.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-48x40.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-primary-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong>Pasta e ceci (pasta and chickpea soup<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Serves 4<br>2 x 15 oz cans of chickpeas (drained)<br>small onion, diced<br>1 stick of celery, diced<br>1 small carrot, diced<br>Salt<br>1\/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil<br>A sprig of fresh rosemary<br>5 cups water<br>A parmesan rind (optional)<br>1\/2 cup small dried pasta or 4\/5 cup fresh egg lasagna sheets cut into small pieces&nbsp;<br>Black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a large pan, warm the olive oil before adding the onion, carrot and celery.
