Ramp Pesto with Hazelnuts


If you are like me, growing and foraging your own food is extremely rewarding.  Lucky for my that when I am unable to gather food in the woods, I have plenty of friends who do so!  For Earth Day a friend of mine gathered some ramps in the woods and shared this wonderful recipe with me.  I was some what concerned that I was not going to like it but let me tell you, this was some delicious pasta!!



Blanch ramps
Dry roast whole hazelnuts until golden brown in pan.
Throw ramps and hazelnuts in food processor and process.
Shave asiago cheese and add to mixture
Salt and pepper to taste
Drizzle olive oil on mixture until texture is right
Serve with hot pasta.
