Ingredients for 4 servings

320g of Fusilloni Rigati Agnesi
300g fresh broad beans (or frozen)
50g Pecorino cheese, grated
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp dried marjoram (or fresh if preferred)
100ml vegetable broth (or water)
to taste salt and black pepper
for garnish fresh marjoram leaves
for serving Extra Pecorino

Cook the broad beans
If using fresh broad beans, remove them from their pods and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain, remove the skins, and set the beans aside. If using frozen broad beans, simply thaw them as per package instructions.
Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Pasta Agnesi Fusilloni according to the package instructions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
Prepare the broad bean cream
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Add the broad beans and vegetable broth, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Using a hand blender or food processor, blend the broad bean mixture until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and marjoram, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Combine pasta and sauce
Add the cooked Pasta Agnesi Fusilloni to the broad bean cream sauce. Toss gently to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce needs loosening.
Finish with Pecorino & Marjoram
Stir in the grated Pecorino, allowing it to melt and enrich the sauce.
Serve and garnish
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh marjoram leaves and an extra sprinkle of Pecorino for added flavour.
