Step 1 Cut the green tops from the green garlic stalks, wash them in plenty of cold water and drain well.
Step 2 In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook the garlic greens in the olive oil and season with one-fourth teaspoon salt, stirring frequently until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and set the greens aside until cool enough to handle. Then finely chop the greens and set aside.
Step 3In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmigiano, flour, remaining salt, ricotta, eggs and cooled chopped garlic. Mix well. Cover and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4Form the dough into 12 balls almost 1 1/2 inches in diameter (like meatballs), and set aside while you make the soup.
