    I do one with chickpeas and pasta sometimes - isn't that called "thunder and lightning"? All these variants sound excellent, can't wait to try them!

    I call it pasta e ceci. But thunder and lightning sounds much cooler!

    According to this, "thunder and lighting" is what the ancient Romans called it - http://www.unicorn-grocery.co.uk/recipes.php?i=10 So perhaps I do remember something from my classical education after all :-/

    ETA although it doesn't actually say they called it that... they did eat chickpeas though, Cicero was named after one (another classical fact!).

    Oh, will garlic be good in this? Just a clove or so?
    Peace, love, and happiness.

    Garlic's good in everything ;-) Some of the recipes definitely include it

    Yeah, I read somewhere that the Roman army used to eat a lot of it (because most of the ingredients are dried and thus easy to transport). Cicero's parents had good taste; I love chickpeas!

    I think it may have been to do with the shape of Cicero's head - but there again I could be thinking of Pericles who also had a funny shaped head (onion-shaped). My education was a complete waste of time!

    Yes I think someone here was saying that Roman soldiers were virtually vegetarian? Though doubtless not through choice.

    Yep, Tigerlily, sorry forgot the garlic! Just mince a clove or two (or slice thinly) and fry together with the other veggies at the beginning.
