Ingredients
  

Pasta Base
  • 12 ounces spaghetti or preferred pasta
  • 4 cups dandelion greens washed and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
Seasonings And Finish
  • 1 2 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper optional
  • 1 4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional heat
  • 1 4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Freezer
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Cook spaghetti until tender while reserving a small amount of pasta water before draining.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and saute garlic gently until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Add dandelion greens gradually, stirring until softened but still slightly bright and tender.
  4. Toss cooked pasta into the skillet with reserved pasta water for silky texture.
  5. Season with sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and parmesan before serving warm.

Notes

Cook greens briefly for firmer texture or longer for softer less bitter flavor. Reserve pasta water carefully because it helps create smooth sauce consistency. Freeze cooked pasta portions separately for future meals. Handle greens gently while tossing to maintain texture. Customize flavors with mushrooms, chicken, bacon, or lemon zest. Store refrigerated for three days.
