Serving idea
Cook your favorite pasta in a big pot of salted boiling water. Before draining, preserve a cup of cooking pasta water. Add the drained pasta to a bowl, add two to three tablespoons of homemade wild garlic pesto, and preserved cooking water. Toss to combine, divide between plates, and serve with a dollop of fresh ricotta cheese and freshly grated lemon zest.
