Lagane e ceci
Italian pasta dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lagane e ceci or lagane e cicciari, also known as pasta del brigante (lit. 'brigand's pasta'),[1] is a pasta dish originating in the Calabria region of Italy. It consists of lagane, a wide pasta,[2] with chickpeas, garlic, and oil.[3]
The dish is associated with the custom of u cumbitu,[4][5] in which the dish is shared among families and neighbours annually on Saint Joseph's Day (19 March),[6] alongside pan-fried cod and zeppole,[7] the dessert typically associated with Saint Joseph in Calabria.[8] The custom may have emerged in the 20th century,[6] or have origins in Calabria's medieval feudal society.[9][10] U cumbitu notably suspended class structures in Calabria, which was particularly afflicted by poverty and hunger,[7] and was a symbol of social solidarity and fraternity.[4][11]
