1 lb Spaghetti 2 c Arugula, chopped 6 Shallots, chopped -=OR=- 4 Garlic lcoves, chopped 2 tb Olive oil 2 c Tomatoes, chopped Salt Red pepper flakes -=OR=- Cayenne, to taste
Cook the pasta until almost *al dente*; add the arugula, cook for a few
moments & then drain. Meanwhile, lightly saute the shallots or garlic in
the olive oil. Add the tomatoes. Cook over high heat until the sauce
thickens, then season with the salt & hot pepper flakes or cayenne. Toss
the pasta & arugula with the tomato sauce & serve immediately. VARIATIONS:
Add the arugula to the tomato sauce rather than the pasta. Use wholewheat
pasta instead of spaghetti & broccoli tops instead of the arugula. This
will need more red pepper flakes. Finish with a sprinkling of fresh herbs
such as basil or oregano.
