Clean the ramps thoroughly, separating the white bulbs from the green leaves. Roughly chop both.
- 2
In a food processor, combine the ramp bulbs, ramp leaves, fresh basil, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic clove.

Pulse the ingredients until roughly chopped. With the food processor running, slowly stream in the olive oil until a smooth pesto forms. Do not over-process.

Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.

Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.

Drain the cooked spaghetti and return it to the pot.
