- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound ramps or medium scallions, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt

- In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil.
- Add the ramps and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Add the fresh and dried chiles and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the 1/4 cup each of pecorino and Parmigiano cheese.
