chickpea pasta

Garbanzo-based spaghetti alternative

Chickpea pasta is pasta made from chickpea flour rather than wheat, yielding a product higher in protein and fiber.

It emerged as gluten-free and low-carb diets gained popularity.

The texture differs from traditional pasta—slightly grainier and more prone to mushiness if overcooked: I switched to chickpea pasta to cut back on refined carbs.
