Ramps are something special. These petite wild onions are pungent, garlicky, umami bombs. They have a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it season, a lengthy development stage, and are mostly foraged. All of this makes the ramp a rarity in the produce aisle. Perhaps their limited availability is what makes the fervor around these seasonal treats so intense. But I think their versatility, and well-rounded flavor are the true keys to their popularity. They are a rare gem, so in today’s Ramp Bucatini, they are the sole focus. Gently enhanced with butter, olive oil, and a dash of white wine, the ramps carry this recipe. This is a ramp appreciation dish, so let’s dig in!
