This is a fabulous recipe. I made a few substitutions/omissions but that's just the kind of recipe it is...very forgiving but providing an excellent foundation. I used fresh French shallots in place of the baby onions/scallions, frozen peas rather than fresh and added some thinly sliced cavolo nero. I also used my own homemade brodo. Omitted the favas and fennel. This is most definitely going into my monthly rotation!
