What it is
This is a type of pasta made from chickpea flour. It has a spiral shape, known as fusilli. The pasta is designed to be a plant-based alternative to traditional wheat pasta. It is a good source of carbohydrates. The chickpea flour gives it a distinct flavor and texture compared to other pasta types. It is suitable for various dietary preferences.
How people cook with it
This pasta can be used in many of the same ways as regular pasta. It works well in hot dishes and cold salads.
- Mixed with pesto
- Tossed with vegetables
- Added to pasta salads
- Served with marinara sauce
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the chickpea fusilli and stir to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for about 7-9 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients. It holds sauces well due to its shape. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become mushy.

How to keep the rest
