Tried something different tonight. I made chickpea pasta completely from scratch instead of buying it. I milled the dried chickpeas into flour in the blender, I made the dough in my mixer, and then made the pasta. Didn't take that long and wow, it tasted pretty great. I kept it very simple so as not to waste anything if it was a fail. Plus, you can't really go wrong with fresh black pepper, olive oil and pecorino cheese. I had some salmon, too. Was not as much fun as having friends over and celebrating Christmas Eve, but kept me occupied for a bit. It was a dark, rainy day with too much wind for swimming. Rained when we were out on a walk, so that got shut down early. Kinda a dark depressing day overall, but doing what I can to keep it light.

That looks really wonderful. Great job. Interesting bit of trivia for you. Did you know that food anthropologists all over the world are working together in a cooperative effort to try to find the original chickpea. They are scouring old caves, old burial sites, obscure villages in their efforts. Apparently salvaging the genetics from the chickpea is felt to be one of the things that can help ensure the long term survival of the food supply of humankind.

That's really cool, Kenna and exactly the kind of random thing I'm into. Gib, I'm really proud of this effort. I'd read a bunch of recipes and watched videos on how tricky the dough is to handle and almost psyched myself out. They were all lies. I ended up winging the recipe and "listening" to the dough, if that makes sense, and it turned out just as good as any other fresh pasta I've had or bought. With the extra protein and fiber in there, I can have a lot more pasta in my life going forward without much harm. Eva, Merry Christmas to you as well, my friend. Stay safe and keep walking that pup!

I have another half of that very small batch of dough left. While I've already got plans for dinner tonight, I'm thinking about making some hand cut ravioli with the rest this weekend. I used to have a tool for finishing the edges, but I think that got lost along the way. I can still cut them and seal them by hand. Just a matter of deciding what to put in them that doesn't require a trip to the store.

I’m not sure I have seen dried garbonzo beans in the store. I order several different heritage beans that I eat routinely so will just add these to the list.

My East Indian next door neighbor uses garbonzo bean flour for a thickener in many of her dishes instead of flour. I will check out her ethnic market (it is such a cool place to go to) and I bet they sell the actual ground flour.

Wow, pasta made from scratch always tastes great but I've never tasted one made from chickpeas. Looks delicious. Merry Christmas!

Kenna, i can usually find dried ones in my Mexican grocery next to the rice. I’m just not going in to the stores lately. I got this bag off Amazon and the beans are much nicer than my regular ones.

I’m in Anaheim. Do you have a store down there called HEALTHY HARVEST. it is an ethnic store with the most unusual foods that I have never seen or heard of before. Fruits and vegetables I have never heard of before. Meat cuts (all Halal) that I have never seen used before and incredible pricing that I have seldom seen either. Worth a visit just for the fun of it. I just ordered the flour from Amazon. I’ll let you know how the noodles turn out. I used to make homemade noodles all the time when I was a kid, but it has been years. I think I have a pasta attachment for my kitchen aid— I’ll have to drag it out.

I haven't seen that store here, Kenna, but my little grocery is fantastic and they'll order stuff for me if I ask. We do have 99 ranch for the super amazing stuff, but I haven't been there in ages. got another one for you to research, I saw that Banza has a chickpea pizza crust. that sounds like something I need in my life.

Katsolo do you ever roast can chickpeas in the oven then season them to your liking and add. Them to salads or eat like corn nuts. They are so good.

I have made those, Kenna, i like them. I also like them just warm and drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper. Maybe chili flakes. So yummy.

I just made spaghetti noodles tonight. They tasted good, but were so delicate that it ended up looking like a bowl of ramen.
