Prepare the spinach by triple washing it, then wilting it in the water that remains clinging to the leaves. Squeeze dry, then return to the pan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil and simmer till fully cooked, which will vary depending on the tenderness of the spinach. Puree with a hand blender. Steam the asparagus. Cut into 1-2 inch pieces on the diagonal, leaving the tips in tact. To prepare the ramps for this dish, wash them and trim the ends, then chiffonade the leaves and slice the white bulbs. Sautee in a little olive oil. Prepare the dressing by combining the spinach puree, yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Strip the mint leaves from their stalks, stack and slice into slivers. Boil the orzo until done to your liking. For cold pasta, I prefer it to be more fully cooked than al dente. Combine the drained pasta with the dressing, ramps and asparagus. Chill. Before serving, add the mint and preserved lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning.
