By Mitch Weinstein
I figured I’d keep it real simple, so I braised the favas, along with the ramps, in a cup of homemade chicken stock… Cooked up a portion or two of pasta, and tossed it all together with a big handful of pecorino and parmesan, freshly grated, of course… And sat down to my first ramp-y meal of the season.
