Pasta e Ceci (Italian Chickpea and Pasta Stew)
Pasta e Ceci, or Italian chickpea and pasta stew, is an Italian classic, and the star in my favorite Italian movie, "I Soliti Sospetti", where the Usual Suspects try to steal money from a bank vault, but instead break into the wrong building and end up eating pasta with chickpeas in someone's kitchen. This is Italian comfort food. If you can't find ditalini pasta, use spaghetti that have been broken into pieces.
