Even if there might have occasionally been some gluten-free recipes among the ones I've posted so far I didn't publish anything specifically made for those suffer from celiac disease

I got this recipe from the book named "Celiachia" which has gluten-free recipes.

Sounds very nice farfallina. I would have to blitz the chickpeas so no one knew they were there.
