200g pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
1 cup sorrel microgreens, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, minced

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the chopped sorrel microgreens, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Toss the cooked pasta in the cream sauce, season with salt and pepper, and stir well to coat.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Microgreens are young edible plants harvested shortly after germination. Published research reports that nutrient and phytochemical concentrations vary substantially by species, seed source, growing conditions, harvest stage, and storage, so crop-specific health claims should be interpreted cautiously.
• Microgreens have been studied as sources of vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, and other bioactive plant compounds.
moderate evidence• Nutrient composition cannot be assumed to be identical across microgreen varieties or production systems.
strong evidence• ChefPax presents this crop primarily for culinary flavor, texture, freshness, and menu variety rather than as a treatment or medical product.
