Thank you!
Actually, I might be thinking of sugar snap pea recipes. I tend to harvest them at the same time, and maybe use the same recipes. I love one for a spring veg ragout. Sugar Snaps, peas, asparagus, favas, maybe a fingerling potato, some herbs.
I also love saying ragout. Rag-out. I’m sure I’m not pronouncing it right, but how could this be pronounced the same as a tomato and meat ra-goo?

Pasta Fagioli you could replace some of the cannellini beans with fava beans or all of them, if you have enough.
Casio-e-pepe would pair well with Fava beans:

I can take or leave fava. But there was a story in NY Times today about favas and Rome. Most interesting part of the story was learning about favism. I had no idea that there was a blood condition that makes favas deadly.

Thank you for sharing that! I was just in Rome, and favas were in season.
The anthropology of “favism” is an interesting topic, and one I have been following for awhile. My son has “hemoglobinopathies”, a *blood condition" (and is not enamored with favas).
His wife is from Turkey.
"For those with the blood disorder — which Lucio Luzzatto, a leading scientist in the field, said spread throughout the Mediterranean, Africa and the Middle East because it offered some protection against malaria "
So far it doesn’t seem their children will be at risk.
