It's ramp season. The farmers markets are now filled with these amazing vegetables. Also known as wild garlic. They taste a mix of garlic and spring onion and is so wonderful to use in everything from soups, salads, pasta, stews or simply just Sautéed in some olive oil. I love them in pasta. Such an easy dish to make—and so much flavor. Try making your own bread crumbs—it will taste so much better.
