It is a sophisticated yet simple meal that highlights the vibrant textures of fresh ingredients, making it ideal for a late spring dinner or a special weekend lunch.

Quick to prepare and deeply satisfying, this recipe is a reliable choice for those seeking a nutritious, homemade meal.

How to make Fresh Pasta with Favas, Tomatoes, and Sausage

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 120ml pasta cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot.
