Lemony Pasta with Wilted Arugula

Martha Stewart

 

This is a simple, delicious vegetarian dish, but if you are wanting a little meat you could easily add some prosciutto, good bacon or good ham.

Coarse Salt and ground Pepper

3/4 lb Short Tubular Pasta

3 oz Arugula (3 cups)

2 tsp Grated Lemon Zest, plus 1 TB Lemon Juice

2 Tb Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

3/4 cup grated Pecorino Cheese, plus more for serving (optional)

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions.  Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine arugula with lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper.  Drain pasta and immediately add to arugula along with oil and cheese.  Toss and season with salt and pepper.  Serve topped with more cheese if desired.
