Pasta With Fava Greens
From Anna Monette Roberts, POPSUGAR Food
Notes
This isn't really a recipe so much as a method. All of the ingredients, from the amount of pasta to the cheese, are up to you. I tend to go heavy-handed on the pasta, cheese, and pepper fronts.
Bellavitano Gold [1] can usually be found next to parmesan in grocery stores like Whole Foods. It has a creamier texture than parmesan and is cheaper! However, if your store does not carry it, simply substitute it with parmesan.
Fava greens can be procured at your local farmers market or through a delivery service like Good Eggs [2].
Ingredients
- Salt, to taste
1 serving pasta of your choice (for some, this may be a handful, and for others, this may be half a box)
2 handfuls of fava greens, thoroughly rinsed
Olive oil, to drizzle
Bellavitano Gold [3], to garnish
Pepper, to garnish
Directions
- Bring a large stockpot 2/3 full of water to a boil. Salt liberally. Cook pasta according to box instructions. In the last 30 seconds of cooking, add in the fava greens. As soon as they turn bright green (this should only take a few seconds), immediately strain and transfer the pasta and fava greens to a bowl.
- Garnish with olive oil, grated cheese, and pepper to taste.
