Tip of Stefano:

Pasta with chickpeas, seitan and cashew nuts. A combination to feast on.

Pasta and chickpeas may sound to most of you like a very strange combination. It actually isn’t that strange.

‘Pasta e ceci’ is a tried and tested Italian recipe and considered to be real comfort food. With partially mashed chickpeas and a bouillon. The following recipe has both the chickpeas and the pasta, but is slightly different. We use a Penne and a seitan marinated in teriyaki. Vegetarian and full of proteins.

Did you know that the teriyaki flavor perfectly matches the seitan, chickpeas and pasta combination? Three elements that perfectly absorb any flavor. The cream of cashew nuts gives the dish a deliciously creamy touch.

Make it as spicy as you want; by using the whole chili or removing the seeds and the membranes you can create a big difference. Buy the ingredients, follow the recipe and you’ll soon discover you’ve got a winner !

At the age of 33 he was going with all guns blazing, but he didn't spare a thought for his own health - he smoked, drank a lot, worked up to 16 hours a day and drank around two litres of coffee daily. Then he developed two serious hernias, as well as being very overweight. He realised that he could not continue this way and decided on a complete turnaround. He quit drinking and smoking and slowly changed his diet, until he finally went almost completely vegan.Vegan, a step further than vegetarian Stefano's recipes are all vegan.
