LEMON FUSILLI WITH ARUGULA image

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 C. heavy cream
3 lemons
salt and pepper
1 lb. dried fusilli pasta
1/4 lb. baby arugula
1/2 C. freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for 60 seconds, then add cream, zest and juice of 2 lemons, 2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Bring a large pot of salt water to a boil, add pasta, and cook al-dente according to directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Immediately add cream mixture and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until most of the cream is absorbed by the pasta. Pour the pasta into a large bowl and add the arugula, parmesan, and tomatoes. Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4 inch thick crosswise, and add a few slices to the pasta. Toss well and season to taste.
