Gluten-Free Chickpea Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Burrata

Quick to mix, zero gluten - this silky pasta comes together in under an hour.

A high-protein, hearty pasta with a beautiful bite and golden color. Great for shaping into tagliatelle, pappardelle, or rustic hand-cut noodles.

Where did it all begin….

Gluten-free chickpea pasta with tomato sauce and burrata carries a story that begins centuries ago, when humble chickpeas were turned into flour across the Mediterranean.

For generations, this golden legume fed families with its nutty flavor and hearty goodness, long before gluten-free diets became popular.

Then came the tomato—brought from the New World to Italy, where it slowly transformed into the heart of countless sauces, painting kitchens with its rich red hue.

And finally, burrata, a creamy gem from Puglia, born from resourceful cheesemakers who turned simple leftovers into pure indulgence.

When these three ingredients come together, they create more than just a meal—they weave history, culture, and comfort into every bite.

The earthy pasta, tangy tomato sauce, and silky burrata offer a perfect balance of rustic tradition and modern elegance. It’s a dish that feels both timeless and fresh, inviting you to taste history in the most delicious way.
