This is a great summer salad which turns into an instant warming pasta dish if the weather is miserable - as it has been in the UK for months now. I make no excuses for having found it on a recipe card in UK top people's favourite supermarket, Waitrose. (On one of my rare visits there these days, Tesco being my budget pal these days.) I served it first time as a salad because I found it during a brief warm and sunny spell a couple of months ago. But ever since then I have taken the chef's tip at the bottom of the page - to tip it into a bowl of hot pasta. I use quick cook - six minute - fusilli - and it cooks as I fry up the chorizo. Perfect timing. Absolutely delicious. Takes about 15 minutes from start to finish - excluding time to pod the fresh beans and peas. But if you use frozen ones - it's a doddle. Actually, word to the wise and those who have 'delicate' digestive systems - frozen broad beans are kinder on the system if you get my drift :D

    I've tried this one as well! Really yummy - and so much fun podding the peas and beans, took me right back to childhood.

        Hi LBC - try the website link and click on search for more recipes in left hand column. Then you just enter vegetarian and which course etc. I would recommend all Waitrose recipes - they are a very up-market organisation and concerned with both the quality and sources of the produce they sell.

        It does sound delicious. It makes me nostalgic for Waitrose, too; good thing there isn't one anywhere near me.
