Directions
- Trim and discard ends of broccolette; cut into 2-inch pieces. Prepare a large bowl of ice water; set aside.
In a Dutch oven, cook fava or lima beans in 3 quarts of boiling salted water for 1 minute; remove beans to ice water to cool, reserving boiling water in pot. Add pasta to boiling water; cook 4 minutes. Add broccolette and continue cooking 3 minutes more; drain.
Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
If using fresh fava beans: Shell fava beans using a paring knife to remove tip and peel string. Remove beans; set aside. If using frozen lima beans: omit this step.- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook until tender. Add fava or lima beans and garlic; cook 3 minutes more.
- Add cooked pasta, broccolette, chicken broth, wine, lemon juice, butter, salt and crushed red pepper to skillet; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until pasta absorbs most of the liquid. Sprinkle with Parmesan just before serving.
