Pasta With Arugula, Proscuitto, And Reggiano
- 1 pound pasta of your choice (I don't suggest capellini, linguine, spaghetti, etc.)
- 5 ounces bag of baby arugula
- 6 ounces proscuitto di parma
- olive oil to coat
- salt & freshly cracked pepper to your liking
- Cook pasta al dente or however you enjoy pasta in water that has come to a rolling boil (don't forget to salt the water at this point, not beforehand). While it's cooking, julienne the proscuitto. I don't suggest using diced proscuitto, as I find it's too chewy for this since it's not getting cooked down and would add a weird texture.
- Drain pasta quickly and throw back into the pot. Toss with olive oil. Add the arugula and mix well. You'll see that the arugula will begin to cook and turn a brighter green and wilt a little. Toss with the proscuitto. Taste for saltiness now, then add salt as needed along with freshly cracked pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl at this point and serve, grating the cheese over each individual plate.
- Enjoy!
