Ingredients

  1. 1 pound fiddlehead ferns
  2. 1 pound angel hair pasta
  3. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  5. 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  6. 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  7. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  8. Grated Parmesan, for garnish
  9. Essence, recipe follows, for garnish
  10. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  11. 2 tablespoons salt
  12. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  13. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  14. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  15. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  16. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  17. 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the fiddleheads until they are crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the fiddleheads from the water and shock them in a bowl of ice water (unless you are going to use them immediately).
  2. Drop angel hair pasta into the same pot of boiling water used for fiddleheads. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until al dente.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil. Saute fiddlehead ferns, green onions, and red pepper flakes for 2 minutes. Drain pasta and add to skillet. Toss with truffle oil and salt and pepper. Divide pasta among 4 plates and garnish with grated cheese. Sprinkle with Essence and serve.
  4. Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
