pasta con ceci as way of introduction
![finished plate.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVJVeAtFWpA6mwgtigrDheTdp3TmKPueBEQfihmnuFBnU/finished%20plate.jpg)
Hello Steemit community,so i thought it time to present myself, and i thought i would do so with a fine February recipe of chic peas with pasta (pasta e ceci)
So my name is Ed. I am a Canadian/Irish man just over the fifty mark. Have lived a wonderful life ,with no regrets,and am thankful for the friends and family that surround me, and what i have become as a person.
I spent 9 years busking around the this planet,and met my Italian wife around 1991, while busking  the streets of Italy and have been here since. I like to challenge myself on a daily basis, which i see as a form of travelling. This includes Buddist retreats,spelelogical adventures,jumping from airplanes, marathons and alcoholic binges sometimes lasting years.
Now, i like to dedicate any free time to learning new things. Today is about cooking.
Pasta e ceci - bear with me - here goes.
First step, soak 700 grams of dried chic peas in water for at least 24 hours (changing water occasionaly)
Next day i collected some fresh sage (7 leaves), a branch of Rosemary,then added three cloves of garlic,some celery,two carrots, and some fresh chili.
Stuck all in a blender.
Put contents in frying pan to slowly cook with some virgin olive oil.
![frying pan.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPrGCEzCmuqnNSqn8DTyyZX7xmJQGhPbTZjWtK1oxuYNV/frying%20pan.jpg)
Chic peas in a pressure cooker, high heat until whistles, then lowest heat for 20 minutes, then turn off gas and leave to continue cooking.
Now add a tin of tomatoes to your goodies in the frying pan and simmer on low heat.
![add tomatoes.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeZYdte2fGnr2VA7SRCLZDaUFnaWy3oeCsWo9MdDA3G8e/add%20tomatoes.jpg)
When chic peas are ready do not drain water. Open pressure cooker and take out just over half of chic peas and pass through blender.
Add the puree that you'll get to your frying pan stirring all the time to make more liquid.
![stir puree.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWNoXF4He8Uxg4y9TkDSxWoxCsUb9MxbownjhUePq1g1M/stir%20puree.jpg)
Then add the rest of the whole chic peas and the amount of water to achieve the required density.
Add a pasta, preferably of all different dimensions. Maltagliati are wonderful (150 grams more or less)
Add salt to suit, and cook for another half hour under a low flame.
![slowly cook.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbQxxgnbdyJJ5gcCKh62VnKruStGBQKDLCf95jU6zXw34/slowly%20cook.jpg)
Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese,virgin olive oil, and chili powder.
![finished plate.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVJVeAtFWpA6mwgtigrDheTdp3TmKPueBEQfihmnuFBnU/finished%20plate.jpg)
And that my friends is my brief intro and my February recipe. Anything not clear feel free to contact me.
If you would like to check out my music, or follow me,or invite me for dinner and drinks i am delighted.
Ciao for now.
ed

Welcome Ed :-)  Trust me, being part of the Steemit community is a journey in its own right, so you should fit right in here!  You enjoy new and exciting challenges - keep an eye out for the various weekly challenges and their interesting themes.  I take part in the Culinary Challenge most weeks and your recipes would be enthusiastically received there (Are you veggie?  We need more veggies to balance the bench, as I'm usually billy no mates at this end!)  I'll be following you and look forward to what I'm sure will be exciting snippets from global adventures!
