Ingredients

Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
Onion - 2.1 oz
Garlic - 2 cloves
Chili Flakes - a pinch
Sausages - 8.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the fava beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and remove the tough outer skin.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 6 minutes. Remove the casing from the sausages and add the filling to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and fry until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook for another minute. Then add the tomatoes and beans. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving 0.5 cup of the pasta water, and return the pasta to the pot.

Step 4

Add the sauce to the pasta and mix well. Place over heat for about 2 minutes, adding the reserved pasta water. Stir in 2 tablespoons of grated cheese and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
