Lemony Bucatini With Wilted Arugula
- About 25 sticks of spaghetti or fettuccine. I used bucatini. (Alternatively, you can use 1 cup of uncooked pasta of your choice.)
- 2-3 cups arugula (add more if you want)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large clove of garlic - minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 + 1 teaspoons sea salt, plus 1 tsp to salt the pasta water (adjust per your taste preference)
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper (adjust per your taste preference)
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts (Alternatively, you can use toasted walnuts or toasted slivered almonds)
- Pecorino Romano or Parmiagano Reggiano for garnish
- Add 1 tsp salt to a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. Add pasta to the water and cook per the manufacturer's instructions. Before draining the pasta, reserve 2 tbsp of pasta water.
- In a pan, heat olive oil on medium-low heat, add garlic (you may want to lower the heat or take the pan off the heat so the garlic doesn't burn). Stir constantly for about 20-30 seconds.
- In the same pan as the garlic, on medium-low heat, add cooked pasta, arugula, lemon juice, reserved pasta water, salt, black pepper, and stir well. Cover and let it sit for about a minute, stirring halfway through.
- Serve warm topped with toasted pine nuts and Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano.
