Fava Bean Pesto
Tender fava beans are blended in a melody of spices, like garlic and fresh mint, in order to make a smooth pesto. It's nutty flavor is due to the pine nuts. This pesto was served on the Catalonia Burrata-Cremini Flatbread as served at the Culinary Institute of America's "World of Flavors" event where Colavita was proud to partner with the Mushroom Council.
