Instructions to make Pasta with broad beans and ricotta:
  1. Remove the beans from their fluffy pods. These ones are quite small, so I used them straight away, but if they have a tough skin you can boil them for 2-3 minutes and then peel them. That's a bit of work though…
  2. Chop the onions and chilli finely. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick pan and add half a teaspoon of salt (helps to keep the veggies crispy). Add the chopped onions, chilli and the anchovies.
  3. Fry for five minutes or so until golden and the anchovies have melted into a paste. Take care not to burn the onions!
  4. Add the broad beans and cover with a lid. Cook for ten minutes on low heat, stirring often. in the meantime, chop the lettuce coarsely and start cooking the pasta in boiling water.
  5. Add the lettuce and cook for a couple of minutes only so that it keeps its crunch.
  6. Mix in the white wine and remove from the heat (so that the wine doesn't leave an acidic taste). Roughly chop the ricotta.
  7. Cook the pasta al dente or a minute under, drain it and add it to the pan. Switch the heat to high and toss for a minute or two until fully mixed.
  8. Divide into the serving plates, spread the ricotta on top and grind some pepper. You can sprinkle with olive oil or even lemon zest if you like it.
  9. Buon appetito!

Add a pinch of red pepper on top, if desired, and serve warm. As a food lover and a number cruncher I've decided that cooking on a budget shouldn't mean canned beans and ramen noodles night after night. Yummy pasta with crunchy vegies and fluffy ricotta. Fava beans have a short growing season. In most parts of the country they're at their peak right now.
