Fresh fava beans, also known as broad beans, are in season in May and June. They are delicious raw, dipped in sea salt, or cooked.

The beauty of pesto is that it is easily freezable which makes it available at anytime. But to me, it is the quintessential spring dish. We tend to eat it in the traditional manner, just the pasta with a few boiled green beans and sliced potatoes; however, it is great as a primo, first dish, during an Easter Feast.
