It’s a June thing! Best when garlic scapes are fresh.

This recipe won’t take you long to prepare and… it’s packed with nutrition.

What You’ll Need:

  • 190g spaghetti pasta (about ½ of a 375g box)
  • 1 bag peas shoots (75g)
  • 6 garlic scapes, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 2 squirts of lemon juice (about a tsp)
  • 1/3 c dry crumbly feta cheese
  • 2 Tblsp (approx.) cooking oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

 

What To Do:

  2. When water begins to boil add pasta and let cook to desired softness following directions for the pasta you have on hand.
