Salad-a-Ghetti
- Salt
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
- 5 to 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 small head of frisee lettuce, stemmed and cleaned (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1/2 small head of radicchio, shredded (about 1 cup)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, a handful
- Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Place a large pot of water over high heat to boil for the pasta.
- When the water reaches a bubble, salt it and drop in the pasta.
- Cook to al dente according to the package directions and drain.
- (Heads up: Save a large mug of starchy cooking water to use when cooking the filling.)
- Reserve.
- While the pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over low heat with the EVOO.
- Add the garlic and thyme to the pan and cook until the garlic is tender and very aromatic, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the reserved starchy cooking water and the cooked pasta.
- Add the frisee, arugula, radicchio, lemon juice, Parmigiano, and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper to the pan and cook, tossing frequently, until the veggies have wilted and the pasta has absorbed the water, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
