🥄 Texture

Creamy and slightly chunky — the almond milk and melting camembert create a silky sauce that coats the pasta, while diced tomatoes and whole chickpeas add pleasant bite and body. Tender pasta and softened onions provide a soft, comforting mouthfeel with occasional meaty chickpea texture.

👃 Aroma

Garlic and sautéed onion give a warm, savory top note, while olive oil and melted camembert contribute buttery, slightly tangy dairy aromas. Ripe tomatoes add a fresh, bright tomatoey scent that balances the richer notes.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A medium-bodied Sangiovese or Chianti to match the tomato acidity and umami, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc/unoaked Chardonnay for a brighter, cream-cutting contrast; alternatively sparkling water with lemon for a non-alcoholic option.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple mixed green salad with a lemon vinaigrette, crusty garlic or olive oil bread for sopping up the sauce, or oven-roasted seasonal vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant).
