SPRING FIDDLEHEAD PASTA
Here's a dish that turns a modest amount of fiddlehead ferns into a meal (or a nice first course). Ricotta, butter and some of the starchy pasta-cooking water make a creamy sauce. Lemon and pepper give all that richness a little pizzazz. If you have a chunk of sharp pecorino on hand, pass it with a grater at the table.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook until very al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
- Combine the ricotta, lemon zest and a few grinds of black pepper in small bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the fiddleheads and sprinkle with pepper and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring gently, until the fiddleheads are crisp-tender and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fiddleheads to a bowl. Add the lemon juice, cooked pasta and reserved water to the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly and the pasta is al dente. Add the ricotta mixture and lightly toss until the pasta is just coated.
- Divide the pasta among 4 bowls and top with the fiddleheads and a few grinds of black pepper.

FIDDLEHEAD PASTA PRIMAVERA
Ham, cheese and a couple of eggs turn these ferns into an economical supper. Substitute wild morels, if you're lucky enough to find them in your fiddlehead foraging, for domestic mushrooms.
