Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces ramp greens (about a fistful)
Salted water
ice water
12 ounces spaghetti
1 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid
2 ramp bulbs and stalks (save or pickle the rest)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Pecorino
Salt
Pecorino and lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Blanch greens from 4 ounces ramps (about a fistful) in a large pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 10 seconds. Let cool in ice water; drain and squeeze out liquid. Return pot of water to a boil and cook 12 ounces spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, coarsely chop 2 ramp bulbs and stalks (save or pickle the rest) and 1/4 cup toasted walnuts in a food processor. Add ramp greens, 1/3 cup olive oil, and 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino; process to a coarse paste. Season with salt.
  • Toss spaghetti and 1/2 cup cooking liquid with pesto, adding more cooking liquid as needed until pesto coats pasta. Serve topped with more Pecorino and with lemon wedges.

This recipe was a disaster. The pesto was too oily and the spaghetti was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pesto was a little bland for my taste and the spaghetti was overcooked.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit. The pesto is so flavorful and the pasta is cooked perfectly. I love that it's a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup a breeze.

This pesto was a great way to use up a bunch of ramps I had. I also added some arugula and walnuts to the pesto, which gave it a nice nutty flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the whole dish came together really quickly.
