I made this incredibly simple and rich tasting pasta, from the wild garlic that has been growing naturally in our backyard. —Rinku Bhattacharya /Spice Chronicles

I may have answered my own question! The "green garlic" looks like green onions, but if so where is the garlic?...maybe there isn't any...
