A delicious recipe for summer months from Nigel Slater. If you have fresh beans and peas, use them, but if not frozen work well too. If you like you can serve on top of sliced tomatoes, or toasted sourdough. Or serve some fresh crusty bread alongside.
While ear shaped Orecchiette is not always as easy to source as some other pasta shapes, it is one of my favourites as it holds the sauce so well. This is from ” The Kitchen Diaries” by Nigel Slater. I prefer to use fresh broad beans but frozen are fine too.
Another tasty way to serve broad beans and courgettes together. If wished you could add a good handful of prawns about 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
