CHEF'S NOTE |
 |
|
|
For even tastier results, cook the cherry tomatoes with thyme and garlic for a few minutes in a fry pan before adding them to the sauce. Don't forget to use fresh broad beans.
To make the dish more attractive, cook some tomato skins flavoured with olive oil, thyme and garlic in an oven for 90 minutes at 100°C; use the skins to garnish the pasta. |
