Spaghetti with Green Garlic & Olive Oil

We had a second vegetarian dinner this week - spaghetti with green garlic and olive oil. The recipe came from fine cooking. You can get it here: http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/spaghetti-green-garlic-olive-oil.aspx I was excited to have a recipe for green garlic. My farm share (Brinkley Farms: http://www.brinkleyfarms.com/) just started up again and they had green garlic available. As you might guess, this recipe was simple to do. It took 30 minutes from start to finish. You begin by making the pasta

As it's cooking you saute the green garlic in olive oil

Then mix it all together!

I mixed some parmesean in there too. I was worried when I took my first bite. The dish did not look as pretty as it does in Fine Cooking. I thought it looked rather bland, but I was wrong. The dish was very flavorful. The garlic gave it just the right bite. My only criticism is that it was a very rich dish. There is a decent amount of olive oil used and it resulted in the dish feeling a bit heavy. Overall, it was good. If you have access to green garlic (espicially from a farmer) try it out.
