Lagane e cicciari

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