Wild Garlic Spaghetti with Endive

I still call endive  -  chicory.

My wild garlic butter needs some dishes to get eaten. Buttered pasta is a good way to do so. But only these two together sounded a bit lame to me. One look in my veggie drawer of my fridge and one small head of chicory and a bunch of parsley and some lonesome green onion were found.

A good way for tasty spaghetti. I started with melting some of the wild garlic butter in a pan and tossing onion and chicory in. They needed a couple of minutes and a little salt and pepper.

The spaghetti started to cook now. Starchy pasta water is essential for the sauce. Since this pasta is a fast kind, I dropped it directly from the pot in the pan. Stirring a lot helps with the emulsion of the sauce.

I cut off the best parts of my bunch of parsley and let it refresh in some cold water for 3 min utes before patting it dry and chopping it.

Stirred in the pasta with a knob of cold wild garlic butter. Topping it with grated Parmesan.
