  3. 3/4 cupwarm water (about 200 ml)
  4. For the sauce

  7. as neededMilk,
  8. as neededExtra virgin olive oil,

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    First, prepare the gnocchi dough. Arrange the flour in a mound and gradually add enough water to achieve the right consistency.

  2. 2

    Once you have a smooth and uniform dough, roll it into ropes and cut them into small, roughly equal pieces.

  3. 3

    To shape the gnocchi, roll each piece of dough with your index finger on a gnocchi board or, if unavailable, on the tines of a fork. Place the gnocchi on a floured surface, ensuring they don't stick together.

  4. 4

    For the sauce, shell the fresh legumes to obtain the necessary weight of product.

  5. 5

    In a high-sided pan or saucepan, heat the fava beans and peas with a drizzle of oil.

  6. 6

    When everything starts to sizzle vigorously, pour in enough milk to completely cover the legumes. Add salt and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, bring water to a boil for the gnocchi.

  8. 8

    After ten minutes, remove the fava beans and peas from the heat and transfer them to a container suitable for an immersion blender. Set aside a few spoonfuls of legumes to add whole to the rest of the blended sauce.

  9. 9

    When the water boils, salt it and cook the gnocchi. The size of mine required about 3 minutes of cooking.

  10. 10

    Pour the sauce into the pan where you will also transfer the gnocchi, not completely drained, using a slotted spoon. Mix everything well and add the whole legumes set aside. Plate and enjoy.
