Pasta e Ceci is a traditional Italian recipe and is one of our favorite Italian comfort foods. Made with garbanzo beans (aka "ceci") and perfectly tiny pasta shells, this delicious soup is seasoned with A Bite of Good Mambo Italiano spice blend and gets a subtle umami boost from nutritional yeast, which mimics the parmesan rind usually used in a traditional Pasta e Ceci recipe.
