Super Pasta e Ceci
  • 1 cup Barilla® Ditalini
  • 1 cup Barilla® Tomato & Basil Sauce
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 carrot, minced
  • 1 celery stalk, minced
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas, liquid reserved
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups boiling water, or more if needed
  • 18 cooked shrimp, shelled
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


  1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. If all water has not been absorbed, drain.
  2. Heat oil in a large pot. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook and stir until vegetables soften and onions begin to turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chickpeas with liquid and cooked quinoa. Stir in jalapeno pepper. Add tomato sauce, salt, and nutritional yeast; stir to combine.
  3. Slowly pour in 2 cups boiling water; add ditalini. Continue to stir; add more water only if needed. Cook until ditalini are al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Mixture should have a stew-like consistency. Add shrimp; cook and stir until shrimp are heated through, 1 more minute.
  4. Divide among serving bowls; top with fresh, chopped parsley and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
