🇺🇸 Once it fed Rome through hunger. Now it feeds our nostalgia. Pasta e Ceci proof that “poor food” aged better than most rich ones.

🇮🇹 Un tempo sfamava Roma nei periodi di fame. Oggi nutre la nostra nostalgia. Pasta e Ceci e la prova che il “cibo povero” è invecchiato meglio di quello ricco.

This dish kept families fed through hunger. Today it’s skipped for something trendier. This is pasta pasta with chickpeas. Once a lifeline across Rome and Latzio in Monte Randon, Nona Anna still makes it the old way. Chickpea simmered until soft. Pasta stirred straight into the pot. So the starch turns it silky and thick. It’s humble, slow, and honest. Born from little, meant to feed many. Learn exactly how Nona Anna makes it at cookw with anana.com. [Music]
