Italian: Lagane e ceci or Italian: lagane e cicciari, also known as Italian: pasta del brigante,[1] is a pasta dish originating in the Calabria region of Italy. It consists of Italian: lagane, a wide pasta,[2] with chickpeas, garlic, and oil.[3]

The dish is associated with the custom of Italian: [[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, or have origins in Calabria's medieval feudal society.[9] [10] Italian: 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.[11]
