Plated + Served: Pasta with Fresh Fava Beans, Peas and Lemon-Chive Vinaigrette

June26

This is your reward for shelling all of those fava beans… (no, it’s not a private screening of  “Silence of the Lambs”), it’s a cool pasta dish with all the bright nuances of summer.

 

The best part of this recipe is that you can swap out the major players (favas, peas and chives) and substitute whatever vegetable and herb is the seasonal star of the moment. The result is an exciting new dish with little effort.

And I think Hannibal Lecter would agree, this recipe pairs brilliantly with a nice Chianti… (sorry, I couldn’t help it!).
