Add the rosemary, chickpeas and stock and bring to a gentle boil. Pasta e ceci is my all-time favourite soup. I grew up in Milan, where winters can be quite cold for Italian standards, and my mother would often make this soup for dinner. It is a very comforting and hearty kind of dish and it is also very easy to make. Pasta e ceci (pasta and chickpeas) is one of Rome's most iconic dishes, the only dish so essential that it shows up on both Tuesdays and Fridays on the informal meal calendar.*And while there are no two matching ways to make it (a fine excuse to spend as many weeks in Rome as it takes to try them all, if you ask me), the rough guiding recipe principles are fairly consistent: a sautéed base.
