I can't wait for tomorrow's egg. Or green beans. Or egg....so hard to choose...

Sorry you’re going through so much.
I have had chickpea based pasta. I legit could not tell the difference in flavor when I added sauce on top... and I am a VERY picky eater. Eating it plain is fine for me too. Done that before as well.
If you're looking for specific chickpea pasta brands that are good, the Barilla one is the one I'd recommend. Good protein in it too. Check Barilla Protein Plus. My former nutritionist told me about it.
But yeah, chickpea pasta and adding some sort of flavor on top (sauce, fake butter, etc.) should make it no big deal flavor wise. I honestly just get chickpea pasta nowadays for the protein. All the flavor is in the sauce anyways, and I make my own sauce from crushed tomatoes because I hate the amount of salt in off-the-shelf pasta sauces.
