Ramp Pesto Pasta
10 ramps roughly chopped
1/3 C olive oil
1/4 C toasted pine nuts
1 oz ricotta salata
1/2 tsp kosher salt
black pepper to taste
lemon wedges for serving
16 oz of your favorite pasta cooked according to package directions
Add the ramps, olive oil, pine nuts, ricotta kosher salt and pepper to a blender or food processor. Blitz until there are no big chunks remaining, but there should still be some texture to the pesto (i.e. you don’t want to puree it).
Boil the pasta according to the package directions in salted water until just al dente. Drain, reserving a little of the pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot and add the pesto. Toss to coat evenly, adding pasta water as needed if it starts sticking together.
serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

	The last time I read about ramps , they were supposed to be a natural, organic birth control plant.
