It’s ramp season and Justine Doiron is back in the kitchen studio to show us how to make her creamy ramp pasta. Also known as wild garlic, ramps sprout and multiply around March and April, and taste like a brighter, fresher cousin of garlic: Think less earthy but equally aromatic.

This pasta shows them off with minimal fuss. You blend the ramps with lemon pulp and miso, and you then lightly caramelize the mixture in olive oil, making sure not to bury the coveted ramp flavor. The creaminess comes from mascarpone, but you can swap in silken tofu for a vegan version.

“If you’re trying to figure out what to do with your ramps, this recipe is a good intro,” Justine says. “This is the easy way to understand why this ingredient is important and delicious.”

  1. How cool to see Justine back! I just finished watching her butter beans with orzo video and I thought, hmmm I wonder if they have more videos with her, and then this was just uploaded an hour ago! Love her cooking style , fresh and simple.

  2. This looks so good! Will be making it! Can the miso be excluded? Why was it chosen for this dish?! Thank you!

  3. I love you Justine and your channel! Love that you‘re here now too!! And that you‘ve given us so much food knowledge too 🤓🤓

  4. UK? do ramps exist in the UK? I don't think so. they're a north American plant. maybe UK wild garlic is something else.

  5. My mom grew up in Richwood, WV, which is the world capital of ramps! It is a very cultural thing in central WV, especially Nicholas County where my mom was raised. Their dentist office had a sign politely requesting that if you ate ramps that day to reschedule your appointment. Churches have ramp dinners there, there’s an annual ramp festival—kids grow up digging ramps there every year and families have their own ramp shovels. One of my earliest memories is of my mawmaw, a preacher’s wife, cooking ramps with dinner to take to someone who was sick. It is a point of pride for Richwood because their ramps are exported all over the world!
