Directions
Remove beans from the pod and drop into boiling salted water for 1 to 2 minutes.
Strain and immediately drop into ice water to stop the cooking.
When cool, drain and remove the tough bitter outer skin.
Set beans aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté garlic over moderate heat until soft but not brown, add pancetta and sauté 1 minute longer until translucent.
Add shrimp, fava beans, chile flakes and savory and toss until shrimp just turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add tomato, lemon zest and pasta and toss to warm through.
If mixture seems dry, add a little stock.
Season with salt and pepper and garnish with shavings of cheese and savory or basil sprigs.
