Pasta and Ceci IS a vegetarian dish. The addition of the meat in this recipe is a Cook’s Country add on. There are many ways to make this as the program stated, but it is not flavorless without the addition of meat. That is the error they made. If you allow the ingredients to cook properly it is full of flavor even without the meat and if you start with dry beans it is even more flavorful. The problem I see with many cooks is the idea that soup has no flavor without meat. My Italian mother makes this as a soup and many other meatless soups. All flavorful and delicious. And by the way, without the garlic too. I see more garlic used here in America than I have ever seen in Italy. I am glad you tried this without the meat and found it a success!

This was so good. Rivals the Potato and cabbage casserole.

In reply to Sara. Thanks for your comment Sara. I hope you like it. I think having the dish a little soupier might be nice.

This looked so good, and I’m making it now! Doubled it though, and I think mine is going to be soupier than yours. Smells delish though!
