Pasta with Ceci

Rachel Rays pasta with Ceci! That's what was for dinner tonight and it was so good! Everyone had seconds and we have leftovers! (I may add a bunch of beans to the leftovers for some soup!)

Today I was watching Rachel Ray (she's one of my most favorite people to watch cook! I would love to go to her show!!)
On the show she cooked pasta with Ceci! (Che-chi) Or as I know Ceci as chick peas and garbanzo beans! Growing up I loved loved loved these little peas!! And I've had a dry bag of them for a while now waiting to figure out what to do with them.. So I was ecstatic when I watched her show!
I didn't take a ton of pictures and I'm not going to post directions- instead I will just add her link to the recipe! This wasn't a "quick" recipe but wasn't bad either! I just had to soak the peas and instead of the meat she suggest - I did bacon (I cooked this in the oven first on my large bar pan! 425 degrees- lay bacon on large bar pan and cook 20-30 minutes depending on crispness you want!) I will be making this again! (Oh and Dustin and the kids had fresh grated Parmesan cheese, I didn't and it was still good! You could leave out the bacon and use vegetable stock and make it vegetarian!)
