Dandelions with Calamata Olives

Ingredients:

1 lb. of your favorite spaghetti
1 bunch fresh dandelions – stems cut and rinsed thoroughly
4-5 cloves garlic – crushed & chopped
½ cup halved Calamata olives
juice of half a lemon
red pepper flakes
grated Romano Cheese
olive oil

In a large frying pan drizzle olive oil and heat.

Place in the pan garlic and cleaned dandelions. These will cook down. Place in the calamata olives and the red pepper flakes. When the dandelions are cooked down, drizzle with extra olive oil and the juice of the lemon. Set aside and prepare the spaghetti. When the spaghetti is done, lift from the water and place in the dandelions. Toss.

Garnish with grated Romano cheese.

This is a wonderful warm weather dinner.

Enjoy with Love,
