Inspired by a springtime trip to Sicily<\/h2>\n

During the springtime, pasta with fava beans is at the heart of pasta tradition in Sicily. Springtime in Italy is a glorious time to visit local street markets that are simply overflowing with are a popular spring crops such as fava beans (in Italian called fave or baccelli), artichokes, and strawberries. And this, was of course, reflected on the menus of the local restaurants. Whether it was pasta with fava beans and bacon or my personal favorite \u2014 pesto di fave. Which is exactly why, as soon June rolled around and broad beans made their first appearance on my local farmers market, I had to make my very own pesto di fave. And I simply love it. It’s fresh and vibrant and a great accompaniment to any meal. Make this simple springtime pesto your go-to recipe for fava bean season!<\/p>\n

How to prepare fava beans<\/h2>\n

Although there are a few steps involved in preparing these giant beans, it’s actually quite easy.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First you will want to release them from their large pod \/ outer shell. Now they are ready for blanching.<\/li>\n
  2. Simply, bring a saucepan of water to a boil and blanch the broad beans until tender (2-3 minutes). Drain, then rinse under cold water and cool in a bowl of cold water, to stop the cooking process.<\/li>\n
  3. Now you can remove them from the thick, greyish skin that is surrounding the bean. Use your nail or a paring knife to make a small split in the skin so that you can gently squeeze and pop out the tender, bright green beans from the hull.<\/li>\n
  4. Now the bright green cooked broad beans are ready to be enjoyed!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
