Pasta with Chickpeas/Pasta e Ceci – Indian Version [Vegetarian]/ChickPea Pasta Recipe/How to make Pasta With Chickpea with step by step photos

Fridays, when the Catholic Church discouraged eating meat. Pasta e Ceci is found
throughout Italy, the one food I could find in most of the menus when we
visited Italy. But the pasta e ceci had the anchovies fillets added to it, but
I have made a vegetarian version of Pasta e Ceci and added a little bit of Indian
spices for added kick. Do try this pasta with chickpeas friends, you will

Andalusian Gazpacho/Spanish Chilled Tomato Soup
For
this month’s IFC, Sharanya of Just Not The Cakes challenged us with exotic
array of Andalusian cuisine from Spain. Andalusia is one of the most populous
and second largest communites in Spain, stretching south from sunny cities
Cordoba and Seville all the way to Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea.
The name “Andalusia” was derived from the Arabic word “Al – Andalus”. Andalusia
boasts many delicious foods offering travellers a chance to stimulate their
palette while exploring.
You
don’t have to be in Spain to enjoy an exotic Spanish soup, do you? So, I chose
to do the Gazpacho and share it with you all. Gazpacho is a tomato based
vegetable soup, traditionally served cold. It is a very healthy soup made with
fresh vegetables and consumed during the summer months to beat the heat.
Gazpacho is made with stale bread, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, capsicum,
vinegar, olive oil and salt. The best part of gazpacho is, we can prepare this
soup previous day and serve it either as an appetizer or as a main course with
toasted bread. How hard can it be?
Here’s
how to make Gazpacho with step by step photos…
