Broad Bean, Lemon, and Chilli Fettuccine

April 9, 2015 by Stacey 15 Comments

broad beans, chilli, lemon zest and fettucine in a rich, creamy sauce : theveggiemama.comI know, I know – broadbeans sound like such a spring vegetable! But if you’ve got a bag o’ em in the freezer, and you’ve got plenty of lemon and chilli floating around then you’ve got a pretty gnarly cool-weather dish if you are, in fact, in cool weather.

If you are not, play on!

I do tend to find I put chilli in most dishes when the wind is cold and the skies are grey. When people asked me how I was going to survive the Melbourne winter I joked that I was just going to drink a lot of whiskey and hope that I warmed up from the inside out. I guess I can make that joke with chilli. Now if someone could just point me in the right direction of a chilli whiskey…

If you ain’t got broad beans, then throw whatever else it is you have in the freezer that’s green – spinach, broccoli, peas, all will be good. Be generous with both zest and cheese*.

Description

Sweet broadbeans and creamy sauce benefit from a little lemon and chilli zip.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 500g fresh fettuccine
  • 500g frozen broad beans (no need to thaw)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup pouring cream
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or one whole fresh red chilli, chopped)
  • 1/2 Large lemon, juice and rind
  • 1 Large handful grated parmesan-style or grana padana cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Take care to not under-salt the water.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, warm a frying pan with some olive oil and add the frozen broad beans, a splash of water, and the garlic.
  3. Stir, adding more water and a tablespoon of butter, until broad beans are softening up.
  4. Add the cream, lemon rind, chill flakes, and salt and pepper. Cook until the cream thickens and the broad beans are soft.
  5. When the pasta is done, take it out of the water with tongs and add to the broad beans. Add a few splashes of the cooking water to bring everything together – you want it to become a creamy kind of sauce.
  6. Add the handful of cheese and check for seasoning. Don’t skimp on the salt or freshly grated black pepper.
  7. Serve drizzled with olive oil, extra cheese, and black pepper.

    Veggie Mama, I adore this recipe. I am a big lover of all things that begin or end with bean.. red kidney beans are my ultimate favourite. I do a regular homemade baked bean recipe which I’ve shared on my blog too. Not only does your recipe seem easy and oh-so good for one, it looks like it too from the presentation. I, sadly, have no broad beans in my kitchen at this present time and being a Sunday, all the shops in Manchester, UK are closed, so this recipe will have to wait until later in the week before it is made and devoured. I’ll let you know how it turns out 🙂

      Oh I hope it tasted good! I don’t think I like red kidney beans. I mean, I eat them, but I wouldn’t say they’re my favourite bean! You’re brave 🙂

    That would be so fun if you did cloth! I needed new covers for this baby since the moths attacked my last ones 🙁 and I found lots on eBay and at the local consignment shop. There are also diaper swapping groups online. BUT, just let me know if you decide to go for it, and I can hook you up with our outgrown ones!! 🙂

    Watch came via USPS. Box is made from cardboard but the watch itself is pretty nice. Band has nice distinctive green stitching. The dial is easy to read but the green chronograph markings can be a challenge under low light. Great value for a large Chrono watch with Italian flair. Worth $200.00. Nice to add to your collection.
