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.

PASTA WITH ARUGULA PURéE AND CHERRY-TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make purée:

• Make tomato sauce:
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are collapsed but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cook and serve pasta:
• Cook fettuccine in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add arugula purée and toss until well coated. Transfer to a platter or plates and top with tomato sauce.

• Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add garlic, then tomatoes, pepper, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6-8 minutes.
• Toss pasta with tomato sauce and basil. Top with Parmesan.

ORECCHIETTE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Start bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil on medium-low in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and allow to cook 10 minutes, until oil is fragrant but garlic has not browned. Remove garlic (save for another use). When water boils, stir in pasta.
• Add tomatoes to oil in sauté pan, increase heat to medium-high and, when tomatoes start to shrivel and collapse, reduce heat to low and cook until softened but not shapeless, about 5 minutes. Stir a couple of times. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
• Drain pasta and add to tomatoes, folding both together. Add some pasta water if needed for moistening. Fold in arugula and remaining oil. When arugula has just wilted, season dish with salt and pepper. Serve with a dusting of cheese.

ARUGULA PUREE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and add 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and arugula. As soon as the water returns to a boil, remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer arugula to the ice bath to stop cooking. Working in batches, remove arugula from ice bath and place on paper towels to drain, squeezing out as much excess water as possible.
• Transfer arugula to the jar of a blender. Add oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper; puree until mixture is smooth and resembles a thick pesto with a small amount of unincorporated oil on the surface. Before using, stir gently to combine.
