Chickpea or Other Legume-Based Pasta

Chickpea or Other Legume-Based Pasta is a pasta made from milled chickpeas or lentils rather than wheat, used like conventional pasta in Italian and global dishes and popular as a gluten-free, higher-protein alternative. It is notable as a plant-based protein source, providing about 23g of protein per 100 g, while also delivering substantial fiber and folate compared with regular wheat pasta. Nutritionally it tends to be low in total and saturated fat and supplies minerals such as copper and manganese; it also contains modest amounts of antioxidant polyphenols that come from the legumes, and its amino-acid profile and fiber content make it a filling, nutrient-dense swap for refined-grain pastas.
