Cooking with ramps -- Hyacinth Day, 9th of Flowering, Year 229

[neotoma]

Made pickled ramps today -- 4 pint jars -- using this recipe. I took the leftover ramp greens and wilted them; they'll go into omelets and other dishes this weekend.

Then I made this ramp pasta dish; I did use the leftover water from wilting the ramp leaves instead of chicken stock, and some 'spring cheese' (cheese made from the milk of cows who had been eating spring garlic) instead of parmesan, so it was an intensely garlicky dish.

What's the link to the ramp pasta dish? It doesn't seem to be working.

Ooh, spring cheese.

My father has memories of the cows getting into the onions and his father making ice cream out of it. Your solution sounds much better.

There was typo in the HTML, but it's https://themom100.com/recipe/simple-ramp-pasta/

I know some places make garlic ice cream, and I think that could work if you roasted the garlic, but using the milk to make cheese just seems less chancy to me.
