CREAMY RAMP PESTO PASTA
Ramps are one of those items that seem so appealing at the market but can be a challenge to use when you get them home. This dish solves the problem. Because the recipe comes from Rachael Ray, who made her name teaching a generation to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes, it's quick to make once you have the ramps blanched. The pesto comes together fast, so you can make it while the pasta is boiling. The creaminess of the ricotta tempers the ramps, which can vary in their pungency. Pink peppercorns are berries, not true peppercorns. They add a lovely look to the finished pasta and bring a more delicate fruitiness and a quieter heat than black pepper; if you can't find them, black pepper will do just fine.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for pasta. Set aside an ice-water bath in a medium bowl.
- Blanch the ramp leaves in boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into the ice bath. Drain the leaves and dry on a kitchen towel. Tops should be bright and vibrant green in color.
- Add the blanched leaves to a food processor with 1/4 of the ramp bulbs and stems, plus the lemon zest and juice, the pistachios and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Pulse to finely chop, and stream in the olive oil until the pesto comes together into a thick sauce. Taste and, if desired, add more bulbs and stems, a few at a time, then add salt to taste and pulse to combine. (Reserve the remaining bulbs and stems for use in dressings, sautéed vegetable dishes or eggs.)
- Place the ricotta or mascarpone in large mixing bowl.
- Salt the pasta water and cook pasta about 1 minute less than package directions for al dente. Just before draining, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and add to the ricotta or mascarpone to soften and loosen the cheese. Add the ramp pesto and stir to combine. Drain pasta, add to sauce and toss to coat. Transfer pasta to a serving dish or individual bowls, and top with a generous amount of pink peppercorn.

Steps:
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Cook guanciale, tossing often, until browned and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet.
- Add ramp bulbs to skillet; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and tender, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, blanch ramp greens in a large pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 10 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water (save pot of water). Drain, squeeze out excess liquid, and coarsely chop.
- Purée ramp greens, ramp bulbs, half of pistachios, and remaining 2/3 cup oil in a food processor until very finely chopped. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan and process until pesto is almost smooth. Pulse in a little more oil if sauce is too thick; season with salt and pepper.
- Return reserved pot of water to a boil; cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Mix pesto, 1/4 cup pasta water, and butter in a large bowl. Using tongs, transfer pasta to bowl and add guanciale; toss vigorously, adding more cooking liquid as needed until pasta is glossy and well coated with sauce. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Divide pasta among bowls. Top with more Parmesan and remaining pistachios.
- Pesto can be made 2 days ahead. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto surface, and chill.

17 RAMP RECIPES SO YOU CAN GET ‘EM WHILE THEY’RE GOOD
From bonappetit.com
Author Joe SevierPublished Jan 18, 2023
- Pasta With Ramp Pesto and Guanciale. You may be tempted to blitz raw ramps with olive oil and Parmesan, but this ramp recipe asks you to take one more step: Briefly cook the green leaves in a large pot of boiling salted water, then cool them in ice water before you purée them.
- Chicken Primavera. Primavera means spring in Italian, so feel free to bring any of the season’s green veggies into the mix: fava beans, sugar snap peas, or, yes, wild ramps for that wild garlic and onion flavor.
- Pickled Ramps. While you can’t exactly have ramps year-round, you can make the season last a little longer with the help of a mason jar and some white wine vinegar.
- Toast With Ramp Kimchi and Poached Eggs. They look like spring onions, but there is no mistaking that garlicky flavor: Those are ramps on that toast, and they’ve been mixed with gochugaru, fish sauce, and ginger to wake you (and your taste buds) up.
- Shrimp Ramp-y. The name says it all: Shrimp with a garlicky, pungent, buttery scampi sauce. (The combination of garlic and ramps may seem like overkill, but we promise it’s not.)
