Fave or Asparagus al Forno with Speck and Parmigiano-Reggiano

The first place I was served fava bean pods, as opposed to shelled beans, was at Zuni Café in San Francisco.

When you serve them this way, you want to use only tender, young, small pods, as larger pods will be tough and fibrous. If you can’t get young fave, use jumbo asparagus instead. In either case, this is a spring dish.
