Categories:Viewed: 61 - Published at: a few seconds ago

Ingredients

4 cups of "double peeled" broad beans
100g of butter
150g of parmesan or pecorino
500g of orecchiette pasta
salt
pepper

Note: Orecchiette are little, ear-shaped pasta, but any short pasta shape can be used.

Method

Place the butter, cut into several thin slices, in a large bowl. Grate the cheese and set aside.

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, then add the orecchiette pasta. Stir, keeping the pasta on a rolling boil.

Two minutes before the pasta is fully cooked (use the packet instructions as a guide), add the broad beans. Strain the pasta and the beans; add the mix immediately to the butter and cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Toss well and serve straight away with additional grated cheese.
