PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ARUGULA



Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula image

This simple, glorious dish, popular in the southern Italian region of Puglia, is an argument for keeping cherry tomato plants in your garden or on your fire escape. Uncooked tomato sauce is juicy and cool on a summer evening. The recipe asks only that you halve the tomatoes (quarter them if they are particularly large), then combine them with garlic, salt, balsamic vinegar, arugula, basil and olive oil. Toss that with cooked pasta, and shower with salty, firm shavings of ricotta salata. Arugula adds wonderful flavor (all the more if you can find peppery wild arugula) and a nutritional punch.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved if small, quartered if large
1 plump garlic clove, minced or put through a press (more to taste)

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
1 cup arugula leaves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon slivered or chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 pound fusille, farfalle, or orecchiette
1/4 cup freshly grated ricotta salata or Parmesan (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Combine the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt, balsamic vinegar, arugula, basil, and olive oil in a wide bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, until the pasta is firm to the bite. Drain, toss with the tomatoes, sprinkle on the cheese, and serve.

Chicken Milanese With Slow-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula image

This recipe, from Gwyneth Paltrow, is a very basic and yummy chicken milanese, which is made special with the addition of the roasted cherry tomatoes and arugula salad. Arugula is like a super food. It's so healthy for you! The chicken couldn't be easier and the salad topping is such a nice complement. Simple and satisfying!

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup milk
2 cups breadcrumbs, plain. (I prefer to use Panko)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
coarse salt, to taste
5 ounces arugula (or about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, high quality if possible

Steps:

  • To make the Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & Arugula:.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the tomatoes on a rimmed cookie sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for about 30 minutes (depending on your oven, they may be done in as little as 20 minute or as long as 40 min.), stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are split and blistered. Which means they are super sweet.
  • While the chicken is cooking, toss the arugula with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the vinegar and pinch of salt. Fold the tomatoes into the arugula.
  • Chicken:.
  • Put the chicken breasts in between two sheets of wax paper and pound them with a mallet, until they are very, very thin - you should be able to almost see through them - about 1/6 inch thick.
  • Mix the oregano, salt and pepper into the bread crumbs or panko and set on a plate.
  • Put the milk into a shallow bowl.
  • Dip each chicken piece into the milk and then dredge in the bread crumbs. You should have a thin, even coating.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on the first side, or until evenly browned and crisp. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the other side is browned and crisp and the chicken is firm to the touch.
  • Place a piece of chicken on each plate and mound a handful of the arugula mix over each piece.

When it comes to making arugula and tomatoes recipes, it's often all about finding the right balance between ingredients and flavors. The peppery taste of arugula pairs well with the sweetness of ripe tomatoes, creating a vibrant and delicious combination that can work well in a variety of dishes. Whether you're making a simple salad or a more complex pasta dish, there are a few tips to keep in mind so that you can get the most out of these two ingredients. Here, we'll take a closer look at some of the most important things to consider when making arugula and tomatoes recipes. 1. Choose the best quality ingredients When it comes to cooking, it's always important to start with the best quality ingredients you can find. For arugula and tomatoes, this means using ripe, juicy tomatoes that are bursting with flavor, and fresh, crisp arugula that hasn't wilted or turned yellow. When shopping for these ingredients, it's a good idea to buy from local farmers markets or specialty stores that specialize in fresh produce. This way, you'll know that you're getting the freshest possible ingredients, and you'll be able to taste the difference in the finished dish. 2. Prep your ingredients carefully Once you've brought your arugula and tomatoes home, the next step is to prep them carefully before cooking. With tomatoes, this often means washing them and then slicing or chopping them into the desired size. You can also remove the seeds if you prefer a less juicy tomato. Arugula, on the other hand, is best washed and dried carefully in a salad spinner or with paper towels to ensure that it is clean and fresh. If you're using larger arugula leaves, you may also need to remove the stems before using them. 3. Combine flavors carefully When it comes to combining arugula and tomatoes, it's important to do so in a way that creates a balanced flavor profile. Arugula has a distinctive, peppery taste that can be overwhelming if used in large quantities, while tomatoes are sweet and juicy. One way to balance the flavors is to add a salty or savory element, such as feta cheese or olives, to the dish. Lemon juice or balsamic vinegar can also add a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes. 4. Experiment with different cooking methods While arugula is often used raw in salads and other dishes, tomatoes can be used in a variety of cooking methods, from roasting and grilling to sautéing and stewing. By experimenting with different cooking methods, you can create unique and flavorful dishes that highlight the best qualities of both ingredients. For example, roasted cherry tomatoes can be added to a pasta dish or used as a topping for a pizza, while sautéed arugula can be added to eggs or used as a side dish. By being creative with your cooking methods, you can create a wide range of arugula and tomato recipes that are both delicious and nutritious. 5. Pay attention to seasonality As with any fresh produce, arugula and tomatoes are best when they are in season. In most parts of the world, tomatoes are at their peak in the summer months, while arugula is usually available from spring through to early fall. By using seasonal ingredients in your recipes, you'll not only be supporting local farmers and businesses, but you'll also be getting the best possible flavor and nutrition from your food. Conclusion In conclusion, there are a few key tips to keep in mind when making arugula and tomato recipes. By choosing the best quality ingredients, prepping carefully, combining flavors carefully, experimenting with different cooking methods, and paying attention to seasonality, you can create healthy and delicious dishes that highlight the best qualities of these two ingredients. Whether you're making a simple salad or a more complex pasta dish, these tips will help you create a memorable and delicious meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
