Orecchiette with Arugula
Orecchiete with arugula in a garlic infused olive oil sauce
I snagged some baby arugula at the Petaluma farmer’s market yesterday.
Simply drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, a drop or 2 of red wine vinegar and sea salt, the tender peppery arugula is a summer treat.
But arugula isn’t just for salads.
I have more arugula that I want to eat now and I’m in the mood for a simple pasta. This quick recipe fits the bill. The pasta is on your table in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
I like a small short pasta for this dish. I used orecchiette (little ears) but you can use dried cavatelli, ditali or your favorite pasta shape.
What a treat to be able to use this just-cut arugula. I don’t want to lose any of its fresh goodness so I just let the arugula wilt in the heat of the pasta and garlic-infused olive oil.
The orecchiette is bathed in the thick mellow sauce. The lightly toasted garlic slices add a nutty note to the peppery arugula enhanced by light heat from red pepper flakes.
You won’t believe the full flavor from so few ingredients. Simple, quick, healthy and delicious.
Buon appetito!

While the pasta is cooking make the sauce.
Put a skillet or pan large enough to hold the pasta over medium-high heat.
Add the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until the garlic just starts to take on color.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the sauce warm while the pasta finishes cooking.
