Steps:
- For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
- In a high-sided skillet, whisk the butter over medium heat until melted. Simmer until foamy. Continue to cook until the butter has a nutty aroma and turns a caramel color, 3 to 5 minutes.

Toss until coated, adding the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl and serve.
PASTA WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ARUGULA
This simple, glorious dish, popular in the southern Italian region of Puglia, is an argument for keeping cherry tomato plants in your garden or on your fire escape. Uncooked tomato sauce is juicy and cool on a summer evening. The recipe asks only that you halve the tomatoes (quarter them if they are particularly large), then combine them with garlic, salt, balsamic vinegar, arugula, basil and olive oil. Toss that with cooked pasta, and shower with salty, firm shavings of ricotta salata. Arugula adds wonderful flavor (all the more if you can find peppery wild arugula) and a nutritional punch.

Steps:
- Cook pancetta in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer pancetta with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and pancetta and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then add arugula and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, cook penne in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
- Add pasta and cheese to skillet and toss with sauce. Thin sauce with some of reserved cooking water, then stir in basil.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and locally grown.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming watery.
- Add a little bit of sugar to the tomatoes: This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and make the sauce more flavorful.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you can, use an extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook it until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the arugula to the pasta at the very end: This will help to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.
- Serve the pasta immediately: This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
Penne with arugula and tomatoes is a simple but delicious pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes you may have. The combination of the sweet tomatoes, the peppery arugula, and the creamy cheese is simply irresistible. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
