Broad Bean Pesto is a traditional Italian recipe for a classic peato sauce
made with broad beans and Parmesan cheese. The full recipe is presented
here and I hope you enjoy this classic Italian version of: Broad Bean
Pesto.
 
ChupaNote: I used one can of fava beans (rinsed & drained). Don't add any
salt till finishing if using canned beans. The saltiness also varies from
Parmesan to Parmesan. In addition to the black pepper, I also added an
additional 1/2 teaspoon of Aleppo red pepper.
