Einkorn Pasta with Garlic Scapes and Chives

Spring Pasta

My family is a big fan of pasta, with it appearing regularly on our table, and I like to change things up every so often. My youngest loves spaghetti with “saucy meatballs”, my oldest loves buttered pasta with Parmesan and flaky sea salt, and my husband eats anything. I wanted to take advantage of this season’s produce coming up in my garden by featuring garlic scapes and chives.

Garlic Scapes

Garlic Scapes

I couldn’t resist using garlic scapes from my garden to make this delicious pasta. Garlic scapes are the stalk that comes up and curls over from the garlic growing underground. This is my first time growing garlic, and I was excited to make use of the whole plant.

I harvest about 10 scapes, then sliced off the bulb ends and thinly sliced the stalks to use in this pasta. I paired it with lemon, Parmesan, and chives, and the result was a light and refreshing pasta on a hot a day.

You can serve this pasta hot or cold. If serving cold, wait to add the Parmesan so it doesn’t melt and clump together.

Fresh, seasonal, Einkorn pasta with garlic scapes and chives.

Einkorn Pasta

Einkorn is an ancient form of wheat that has not been hybridized. It’s easier on the digestion and, while a person with celiac could not eat it, many people who are sensitive to regular wheat are able to eat Einkorn wheat.

I love to get Einkorn pasta from Thrive Market. Thrive has many healthier and organic pantry staples that are not always found in the average grocery store. Thrive Market is a membership-based online grocery store with discounted prices. The savings more than make up for the cost of the membership.

Right now Thrive is offering a a FREE gift, up to $24 value, when you purchase a Thrive Market membership! (1 year and 1 month memberships available). You can either order groceries a la carte, or, sign up for auto-ship for items that you’ll use again and again. In my auto-ship cart are things like extra virgin olive oil, Maldon sea salt, Einkorn pasta, coconut oil, spices, and bone broth protein powder. These get sent to me once a month, and I can edit or add items any time. It’s a great way to be sure I don’t run out of things I use all the time.
