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.
