Fava Bean Pasta and a Cherry Salad




Probably for the last time this spring we made Fava Bean Pasta. We love it, especially in the spring when the fava beans are young, fresh and very tender. Later in the season they get bigger and become starchier. The pasta isn’t quite as good. You can read the recipe for this favorite on our blog of: April 30, 2008. Click the date to get the recipe.

We started with a most unusual and good salad. It is made with warm cherries and cheese. Cherries are fresh in the market now and very sweet. This is a tasty, unusual salad – I highly recommend it. Mixed Lettuces with Roasted Cherries, Hazelnuts, & Warm Saint-Marcellin from the The Zuni CafĂ© Cookbook by Judy Rodgers. The recipe is in our blog of: May 4, 2009.
