La Primavera

Spring is finally here. Happy happy joy joy.

Ramps. They smell like bear piss mixed with onions. I adore them.

Salad greens, edible nasturtiums, shallots and onion chives with a white wine viniagrette

Penne with crimini mushrooms and ramps in a light cream sauce. The recipe is pretty basic: onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter, deglazed with wine and stock, stir in ramps, add cream and reduce, check seasoning. Fold in cooked pasta, toss. Serve immediately, passing cheese at the table.
