Spaghetti with Fava Beans and Cherry Tomatoes

1 lb. fava bean pods = approx. 3/4 cup

1 lb. package Barilla Plus Spaghetti or your favorite
3 cups prepared fava beans (see below)
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
Olive Oil
1 large clove garlic, minced or grated
1 cup dry white wine
Spaghetti water
Kosher salt
Black Pepper
Pecorino Romano shavings or grated
Fresh Basil, Mint or Parsley, chopped

Prepare pasta to al denté - reserve some pasta water
If using cherry tomatoes, cut them in half
In a large skillet over medium heat, add fava beans to hot olive oil with a little salt - cook about 5 minutes
Add garlic and cherry tomatoes with a little salt and sauté about 2 minutes
Add wine
Add one or two ladels of pasta water to the sauce, then add pasta
Continue cooking stirring occasionally until Pasta has absorbed some of the sauce and the sauce is thickened - just a few minutes - the tomatoes should remain intact
Remove from heat and place in a warm serving tray
Top with romano cheese and fresh herb

Serves 6

To prepare Fava beans Split open the pods and remove all the beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and drop in the beans. Boil for about 3 minutes, then remove to a bowl of cold water with ice. When beans have cooled enough to handle, using a paring knife or your thumbnail, split the outer skin at one end and press from the other end to pop out the fava bean.
