The Only Time Cream Sauce Should Go on the Radiator

NEW YORK — As spring ramps up (pun intended), Sfoglini, the Brooklyn-based maker of unusual organic pastas, is selling deeply ridged radiator pasta (in Italian, radiatore) seasoned with nettles. The wild herb gives the camouflage-green pasta a grassy flavor, making it a fine partner for a light, creamy sauce. Thin some Greek yogurt with pasta water, and toss it with the pasta, adding olive oil and shavings of ricotta salata. It’s sold until the end of May. And in a month, yes, Sfoglini will have ramp fusilli: Radiatore, $7.99 for 1 pound, sfoglini.com.
