Tubetti is a variety of pasta that, as the name suggests, has the shape of small tubes or short straws. They are often used in Italian cuisine to prepare pasta dishes in broth, soups or stews, but they can also be used in more creative dishes. Their shape is suitable for capturing flavourful sauces exactly as in the recipe created by Cesare Battisti where the pea and broad bean cream envelops the small pasta.
Step 01
Step 02
Boil the tubetti pasta in the strained pea broth.
Step 03
Sauté half a sweet onion without allowing it to colour.
Step 04
Add the peas to the onion, making sure to set aside a small handful.
Moisten with a ladle of broth.
Cook for 1 minute.
Puree the mixture in a blender while adjusting for salt and pepper.
Add the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
Step 05
When the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce, keeping it away from the heat.
Stir well.
Step 06
Garnish with the reserved raw peas and the broad beans.
Arrange the herbs (thyme, wild fennel, marjoram, fresh oregano, savory, chives, and mint) and the edible flowers on top.
Serve warm and enjoy with a spoon.
