Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/2 lb unshelled fava beans (about 2 1/4 cups shelled)
2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto (about 1/2 cup)
cooking spray
2 1/2 cups fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups chopped leek (about 2 medium)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups uncooked arborio rice
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1/3 cup dry white wine
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 cups trimmed arugula
4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°.
Remove beans from pods; discard pods. Cook beans in boiling water 1 minute. Remove beans with a slotted spoon. Plunge beans into ice water; drain. Remove tough outer skins from beans; discard skins. Set beans aside.
Arrange prosciutto in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; bake at 400° for 7 minutes or until crisp. Set aside.
Bring broth and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil); keep warm over low heat.
Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add leek and garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Add rice and thyme; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Add white wine; cook 1 minute or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Stir in beans, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat; stir in arugula and cheese. Top with prosciutto.
