Best Pasta With Roasted Garlic Pancetta And Arugula Recipes

LINGUINI WITH ARUGULA, GARLIC & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cook pasta al dente in a large stockpot of generously-salted water according to package instructions.
• While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil (or melt the butter) in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to turn just slightly golden. Remove from heat. (And if the pasta is not yet ready, transfer the garlic to a separate dish to prevent it from overcooking.)
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain it. Then immediately stir in the garlic and olive oil mixture, arugula, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until combined.
• Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese (and toasted pine nuts, if using).

PASTA WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place tomatoes, garlic, shallots, and thyme on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes burst, shallots are browned, and garlic is soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water; drain pasta and return to pot.
• Peel roasted garlic and mash with the flat side of a chef's knife. Add to pasta pot, along with vegetables, olives, and pasta water. Cook over medium-high until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, then toss with arugula.

SAUTEED ARUGULA WITH PANCETTA AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Saute the garlic and pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to crisp and turn golden. If the pancetta is lean and renders little fat, add the olive oil. Add the arugula and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ARUGULA

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.

PASTA WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes. Increase heat, cook, and stir until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove skillet from heat and mix in arugula. Mix in cooked spaghetti and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.

ARUGULA & CHICKEN WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Grill or bake the chicken breasts until medium-rare.
• Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and reserve.
• Heat olive oil in a large stir-fry pan over high heat.
• Add garlic and stir-fry until golden but not burn't, about 1 minute.
• Immediately add tomatoes and chicken stock and heat to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add arugula leaves and toss until they begin to wilt, about 30 seconds.
• Immediately toss in the chicken and cook for 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in plenty of rapidly boiling, salted water until el dente.
• Drain well, and immediately add to the sauce.
• Toss thoroughly to entangle the arugula into the pasta strands.
• (Timing is critical. Make sure the pasta will be done immediately after adding the chicken to the sauce.) Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer until all ingredients are heated through.
• Serve immediately, sprinkling parmesan cheese over each serving.
• Arugula is a peppery leafy vegetable resembling spinach leaves with ragged edges.
• It is generally available during late spring and summer.
• If it is not available, substitute fresh spinach or a 50/50 blend of watercress leaves and spinach.

CACIO E PEPE WITH PANCETTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions, about 8 minutes. Drain well, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is crisp, about 10 minutes. Add the pepper and toast it, stirring often, for about a minute, or until fragrant. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and scrape up any bits that are sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
• Add the pasta and sprinkle with the parmigiano-reggiano. Add another 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and stir to coat all of the pasta in the cheese. Add the pecorino and butter and stir to combine, creating a light, creamy cheese sauce. Add the arugula and cook until wilted. Add additional reserved pasta water as needed to maintain the light sauce consistency. Serve with more grated parmigiano-reggiano, if desired.
