Fiddleheads and Pasta image

This is fiddlehead season in our part of Maine, so the *Bangor Daily News* published the following recipe, making delightful use of our little ferny friend. The meatiness of the 'shrooms, the combo of butter and olive oil in the saute pan, a goodly quantity of garlic, all combine to produce a toothsome meal. If you can't get fiddleheads, the next closest alternative would be asparagus.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The fiddleheads were not very flavorful and the sauce was a bit thin. I would not recommend this dish to anyone who is looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The fiddleheads were a bit more bitter than I expected, but the sauce helped to balance out the flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the overall dish was very satisfying.
