Agretti is also known as monk's beard. Whether there are actually monks with green beards, we don't know … but what we do know is that agretti – or barba di frate, as it is also known in Italy – is one of our favourite spring greens. Its earthy aroma is perfect for a simple pasta dish, seasoned with garlic and lemon. Super quick and easy, and incredibly delicious!
