I know. Two pasta dishes in a week that are devilishly similar, yet deliciously different.
What was that I was saying about less land-based mammal meat? Eh. Some ground lamb would have been amazing in this. But, alas. Julie is not a fan of it, and I like to make sure she's gonna eat dinner too. (I know! Not a fan of lamb? And to think I'm marrying her in twelve days!)
The bounty of our farm share has finally starting paying off in things other than leafy greens. This week we got some pea shoots, peas and more garlic scapes. I would have loved to get some more leeks, but, hey, I guess you can't always get what you want. Of course, this is exactly why communism failed, but like, you know. Who ever said that hippies learned from history?
Now what was I talking about? Oh yeah. Lamb. Well not lamb. But lamb would have been great in this. I guess I should probably tell you what "this" is, but I feel like you may be able to figure it out. In case you can't, this is is fresh ricotta, mint, pea shoots, peas and garlic scapes and mint. Oh and there's a ton of extra mint in there. I love mint. If you had browned off some lamb and then cooked the veggies and then added the lamb back in this would be even better.

I'm no chef. I'm barely a cook. And certainly not in the professional sense. I work in mobile for a living, but I enjoy cooking almost as much as I love
