Step 1: You will need
- 200 g broad beans, shelled
- 450 g short, cooked pasta
- 250 g cherry tomatoes
- 60 ml olive oil
- 6 sprigs of thyme
- 2 tbsp basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 50 g feta cheese
- 60 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- the juice of 1/2 a lemon
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 saucepan
- 1 slotted spoon
- 1 bowl of iced water
- 1 large bowl
- 1 roasting tray
- 1 spoon
Step 2: Set the oven
Preheat the oven to 240ºC.
Step 3: Cook the broad beans
Bring a pan of water to the boil and add some salt. Cook the broad beans for twenty seconds and then transfer them to a bowl of iced water. Let them cool for a few seconds, and remove from the iced water.
Step 4: Peel the broad beans
Tear a small hole in the end of each broad bean to easily squeeze the bean out. The iced water will have loosened their skins. Put them in a bowl.
Step 5: Roast the tomatoes
Place the tomatoes on a tray, drizzle over the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and add the sprigs of thyme. Mix together so all the tomatoes are thoroughly coated and then roast them in the oven for seven to ten minutes.
Step 6: Combine all ingredients
Place the cooked pasta, both herbs, the feta cheese, olive oil, chilli flakes, lemon juice, broad beans and the cooked tomatoes (including oil) into a large bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 7: Mix together and serve
Combine everything together well, crushing the cherry tomatoes a little with your spoon to release the juices. Serve promptly and enjoy.
