Sometimes, when you have a large volume of lettuce, you start daydreaming about cooking it down. Well I turned my daydreams into reality. I searched the internet for cooked lettuce recipes and landed on this one: pasta with peas, asparagus, butter lettuce and prosciutto. Since we’re vegetarian, we subbed out the prosciutto for roasted pistachios and the chicken broth for veggie broth. And since we didn’t have all the veggies on hand, we substituted the peas for fava beans (brought to us from NM) and just left out the asparagus.
