👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Carefully clean the agretti by trimming the root ends and washing thoroughly under cold running water to remove any soil or sand. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
2. Add the cleaned agretti to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain immediately and immerse in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the vibrant green color, then drain again thoroughly.
3. In a large serving bowl, combine the blanched agretti with extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finely minced garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the agretti is evenly coated. Serve immediately as a vibrant and refreshing side dish.
