Description

This broad bean cream with pecorino cheese is a true celebration of spring flavors! The sweetness of fresh broad beans blends perfectly with the flavor of pecorino cheese and the freshness of mint. I often prepare it in the spring, when the broad beans are at their best, and serve it on toasted bread croutons or as a sauce for pasta. It is a delicious and quick idea for an appetizer or aperitif, but also an original way to enrich a simple pasta dish. Try it, it will win you over!
