I love broccoli in pasta, and summer's a perfect time to eat bunches of this healthful veggie. To add some healthy protein and fiber to my wholegrain pasta, I used some navy beans. You can also use cannellini beans or some chickpeas.

  3. Take 4 crushed garlic cloves
  4. Take 3 anchovie fillets in oil

  6. Take 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  7. Take 1 lb fusilli pasta (1 box)
  8. Get 2 Tbls salt

Drain the pasta and toss with the shelled fava beans, olive oil, lemon zest, cheese and pepper. I like to have this with a grilled spicy sausage. Note: You can use canned fava beans if fresh are not in season. If you do use from a can, then you can add garlic, beans, and tomatoes in at the same time.

Instructions to make Fava beans and broccoli rape pasta:
  1. In a large pot bring water to a boil. In the meanwhile trim the broccoli rape by snapping stems off, leaving florets and about an inch of a stem with a leave.
  2. Blanch the broccoli(no more than 1 min) in the boiling water and set aside. Keep the same water for cooking your pasta. - In a large pan heat the oil and add anchovies and garlic, simmer until anchovies melt.
  3. Add the broccoli rape and fava beans into the pan and stir until well incorporated. When your pasta will be cooked (al dente!) with the slotted spoon add your pasta to the pan with broccoli and fava bean mixture
  4. Mix well, add half cup pasta water and keep mixing on a high heat for about a minute. Shut off the heat and add Parmesan cheese and extra olive oil. Mix well and serve.

Add pasta to the sauce and combine well. If too thick then add in pasta water. When purchasing fresh fava beans, look for bright green pods that are free of yellow patches. Large beans are starchy and firm, while smaller ones are sweeter and more tender. If you are buying shelled beans, select beans with a smooth surface.
