Hey Reader! I dunno about you, but colder weather always makes me want to dig into a big bowl of pasta. Feel me? This week's Hero Recipe is meant to scratch precisely that itch: Pasta e Ceci. What is Pasta e Ceci? It is Italian for "pasta and chickpeas." So, as you might have guessed, it is a pasta dish featuring chickpeas! I had the pleasure of eating it while I was in Italy earlier this year. Our cousin, Roberto, is a wonderful chef and he taught me to make it. It takes only 5 ingredients and less than 30 minutes to whip together. It's absolutely delicious! Also included in this week's Recipe Roundup are a few more pasta and noodle recipes you might cozy up to! A quick update on the website: as you know, I gave up my lawyer job to write and develop recipes, full time. Anthony and I have spent almost the entire year bringing our website up to snuff so that we could start incorporating it into our fledgling business. All recipes will remain free to you and the rest of the world; however, we have partnered with an ad agency, so you will begin seeing ads on our website going forward. We are still learning a lot about how to be "professional bloggers," so please bear with us as we continue to ensure an optimal user experience for everyone who visits our pride and joy, and what started this crazy journey: The Korean Vegan Blog. Next, I've included a link to this week's earlier newsletter (what I shall heretofore call my weekly "Musings"): Friend Breakups. We were in the middle of transitioning our website to a new server (see supra), and somehow, as a result of that, it looks like the overwhelming majority of you didn't receive it!! 😖 Hopefully, we have ironed out all technical issues and you are presently reading this email...! And finally... This year's Holiday Gift Guide! I've spent the last several days pulling together all my favorite things to help alleviate the indecision and stress of holiday shopping. You may recognize some of these items from the "What I'm Loving" section of past newsletters, but the guide is HUGE, and with 11 categories and over 50 ideas, here's hoping that you find something for everyone on your holiday gift list! Heads Up: Many of these items are selling out fast or have long delivery-lead times, so I'd hop to it, if I were you! This Week's Hero Recipe: Pasta e Ceci or Pasta and Chickpeas
