Best Herbed Fava Beans With Pasta Recipes

HERBED PASTA PERFECTION

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano and thyme; cook until garlic is light golden brown, about 1 minute. Using a whisk, mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup water until dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture, wine, chicken bouillon and sugar to skillet. Bring wine mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 - 5 minutes. Stir beans into sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
• 2. Add cooked, hot pasta to skillet; stir to coat completely with sauce. Divide pasta evenly among serving bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.

SPAGHETTI WITH FAVA BEANS, BREAD CRUMBS AND MARJORAM

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Salt generously, and add the spaghetti. After five minutes, add the skinned favas. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick together, until al dente, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the bread crumbs, marjoram, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until crispy, three to four minutes. Turn off the heat, and set aside.
• When the pasta is cooked al dente, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and transfer to a large serving bowl. Drain the pasta and fava beans, and add to the bowl. Add the bread crumb mixture, toss together and serve, passing the cheese at the table.
