The warm seasons of Southern California brings with it such a bounty of beautiful produce. We are so lucky to be spoiled with this climate. When I start seeing fava beans at the farmers markets I always get a little jolt of happiness knowing that spring has finally arrived. Not much need to be done to a beautiful fresh ingredient. Ricotta gnocchi, pancetta and mint joined the bright green blanched favas for a delightful spring combination.

haha blanching in butter sounds like something totally up my alley right? sorry to disappoint but blanched in water then sauteed in butter. 🙂
you gotta try it, at least once.
