The pungent garlic notes in ramps make them the perfect accompaniment for any pasta dish.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 bunches ramps (about 18 ounces), greens and bulbs separated, greens torn into 2-inch pieces, bulbs thinly sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more, shaved, for serving
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 lemons, halved, for serving
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium. Add ramp bulbs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and tender, about 4 minutes.
- When pasta is nearly done, add ramp greens to bulbs and toss to coat.
- Drain pasta, reserving 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid. Add pasta to skillet along with 1/2 cup cooking liquid; toss to coat. Cook, tossing often and adding more cooking liquid as needed, until a thick, glossy sauce coats pasta. Add grated Parmesan and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
