I was immediately drawn to the bright green broad beans (cooked and then skins peeled off) and the use of orecchiette, two things that I would never have thought to put together. Sometimes I makes these new dishes and then, when I am wolfing them down, I realise...hey! this is a variation of something I already make!...but with x, y and z...and this was one of those things...one of my standby summer dinners is spaghetti with courgettes...cooked exactly the same way as this dish (but with added lemon zest and chilli flakes). Anyway...it was fantastic and brought a little bit of sunshine to yesterday's dreary day.
you Always bring Sunshine to dreary days xxxxxxxxx too HOT down here !!!!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some orecchiette; I found them so cute. Now I have a recipe; we also need sunshine today.

This looks Fab, we were just talking about a Veggie main dish for a vegetarian who we will be entertaining in France, this should fit the bill perfectly:-)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm. Looks good. Wish I had grown some broad beans this year. Will do next year.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, I've not tried orecchiette.

A Trifle Rushed...oh any summer pasta dish would taste a million times better in France!!
