Lagane e ceci (or lagane e cicciari), also known as pasta del brigante (lit.'brigand's pasta'),[1] is a pasta dish from 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]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
