Garlic scape and radiatori summer salad

It is a garlic scape and radiatori summer salad, good warm, at room temperature, or cold, so it works for lunches, a potluck, or a simple side.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup dry radiatori pasta
• 1 bunch garlic scapes
• 1 zucchini
• 1 bunch fresh dill
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
• A drizzle of olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt, to taste

Method

1. Cook the radiatori according to the package directions. Drain and let it cool slightly.
2. Trim and dry ends off the garlic scapes. Wash the scapes and the zucchini.
3. Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons.
4. Heat a grill or frying pan over medium-high. Grill or sauté the scapes until tender and lightly charred, and cook the zucchini until just tender with a bit of colour.
5. Chop the scapes into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large bowl with the zucchini.
6. Finely chop the dill and add it with the feta.
7. Add the radiatori, drizzle with olive oil, squeeze in the lemon, and add the grated ginger.
8. Season with salt and toss gently until combined.

Serve right away, or chill for an hour to let the flavours come together.
