ingredients

1 1/2 pound ditalini pasta
3/4 pound fresh ricotta cheese
2 pounds small fresh broad beans
scallions
olive oil

directions

Shell broad beans, take the top off and cook on a very low flame with some oil, finely chopped scallion, salt and pepper. Do not fry them, just let them cook in this juice.

Cook pasta, drain "al dente," and add to ricotta previously diluted with some of the pasta water. Add beans and a lot of pepper. Serve hot.
