Fava Bean Pasta

Hungry Cat Salad

A sure sign of spring for us is when we see fava beans in the market. They of course need to be double peeled. For 4 pounds it takes us about an hour to peel the beans out of the pod. It is a mindless exercise that goes fast if you play good music. The 2^nd peeling later in the day after they are par-boiled is much faster.

We love this Fava Bean Pasta. Fava beans, sage, onion, bacon what could be better? You can find the recipe on our blog of: April 30, 2008. Click the date to get the recipe.
