烹饪步骤
- 1
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- 6
Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
- 7
Drain the cooked spaghetti and return it to the pot.
- 8
Add the ramp pesto to the pasta and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
- 9
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil.
