A great spring recipe when fiddleheads are in season. I think asparagus would work as a great substitute.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb fiddlehead
1/2 lb spaghettini
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons white wine
1 teaspoon agave nectar
1 lemon, juice and zest
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Cook fiddleheads in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and place in cold water to stop the cooking.
2. Cook pasta according to directions. Reserve 4-6 tbsp of pasta water.
3. Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic & shallots, cook 5-7 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.
4. Add wine, lemon juice and agave. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add cooked pasta, fiddleheads, parsley & crushed red pepper flakes. Add pasta water until desired consistency and cook for a few minutes.
6. Stir in lemon zest and season with salt & pepper.
