Method

  1. Boil the broad beans in a pan of water for 5-6 mins until tender. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the pasta to the pan and cook to pack instructions. 
  2. Meanwhile, put half the broad beans in a food processor with the cottage cheese, half the lemon juice and three-quarters of the basil leaves. Season and blitz until smooth. 
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving 75ml cooking water. Return to the pan and add the cottage cheese sauce, salmon and the remaining broad beans and enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen; season and toss to coat well. Divide among plates, tear over the remaining basil leaves and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
