Spring is in the Air Pasta

Am I crazy or does this dish remind you of the Dr Seuss' Horton Hears a Who?  I guess I've been hanging out with kids way too often...if that's even possible.  I couldn't resist throwing in the chive flower.

Another reason I love to shop at my local farmers' market this time of year....


I'm still finding myself running out of steam by five o'clock and all my best intentions at 8AM are gone for the day.  At least my Lamb Kebabs are marinating in the fridge for tomorrow's meal...but I digress...This dish is so easy it's almost embarrassing to share, except that then you wouldn't get to try it.

With some ricotta in the fridge and lots of very interesting greens from my trip to the market on Saturday, like baby radish shoots and very potent lemon basil, plus gorgeous chives complete with flowers and a few leaves from my basil plant growing on my  window sill, this dish came together in one pot seconds after I drained the pasta.
