How To Make Pasta Salad With Flageolet Beans

Step : You will need…

Step 1: Prepare the water

Add some salt to a three-quarter full pan of cold water and allow to heat.

Step 2: Drain the beans

While waiting for the water to boil, open the tin of flageolet beans and drain them in a colander. Set them aside.

Step 3: Peel the lemons

Carefully peel the lemons, making sure that no white pith is visible. Chop the zest into small cubes and retain.

Step 4: Strip the herbs

Separate the leaves from their stalks and chop them well.

Step 5: Boil the pasta

When the water comes to the boil, add the pasta. Stir it well to prevent any sticking until the water returns to a boil. Cook for as directed on the pasta package or for roughly seven to ten minutes.

Step 6: Strain the beans

When the pasta is cooked, pour it on top the beans in the colander. Rinse thoroughly under a hot tap water and drain well.

Step 7: Place in bowl and add herbs, lemon, and olive oil

While the pasta is still warm, transfer into a serving bowl and add the chopped mixed herbs, chopped lemon zest, olive oil and then season to taste before finally sprinkling the shaved parmesan over the top.

Step 8: Serve

Serve the salad immediately.
