Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 pound Italian sausages, casings removed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups chopped plum tomatoes
1 cup shelled fresh fava beans (from about 1 pound), blanched 3 minutes then peeled, or double-peeled frozen, thawed
3/4 pound fresh pasta sheets, cut as desired, or dried egg fettuccine
2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus additional for passing

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add next 3 ingredients. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add sausages; break up with fork. Sauté until brown, about 3 minutes. Add wine; simmer 1 minute, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes and fava beans. Sauté until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot.
  • Add sauce to pasta. Toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid as needed if dry, about 2 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons cheese. Transfer pasta to bowl. Serve, passing additional cheese.

This recipe was a disaster! The pasta was mushy, the sauce was watery, and the sausage was tough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the dish turned out dry. I think I needed to add more liquid.

The pasta was overcooked. I should have taken it out of the water a minute or two earlier.

The sauce was a bit bland. I added some garlic and oregano to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less sausage next time.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still very good.

I didn't have any favas on hand, so I substituted frozen peas. It still turned out delicious.

I added a bit of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra kick. It turned out great!

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage in my fridge that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution.

I'm not a huge fan of favas, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The favas were perfectly cooked and added a nice texture to the dish.

This dish was a hit with my family! Even my picky kids devoured it. They especially loved the sweet burst of the favas.

I followed the recipe to a T and the results were fantastic. The pasta was cooked al dente, the favas were tender yet still had a slight bite, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.
