Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 16-ounce can imported Italian tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch arugula (see note)
1/2 pound grated pecorino Romano cheese
1 pound linguine or spaghettini or other thin pasta
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Over medium heat, saute the chopped onion in the olive oil until onion is just golden brown. Remove from heat and add the tomatoes, juice and all. Crush the tomatoes slightly with a fork. Return to low heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
  • While the sauce is cooking, wash and dry the arugula, discarding thick stems. Cut into thin ribbons and set aside.
  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add salt if desired and when water reboils, add pasta. Stir vigorously with a long-handled wooden spoon or fork to separate pasta strands and bring water quickly back to a boil.
  • When pasta is done, drain quickly and turn into a warm serving bowl. Remove sauce from fire and add the arugola, stirring to mix well. Pour sauce over pasta and sprinkle with half the pecorino cheese. Serve immediately, passing the rest of the cheese separately.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked in this dish. The overall flavor was really well-balanced.

I've made this pasta several times now and it's always a hit. The lemon zest and basil really brighten up the dish. I also like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.

I was a bit skeptical about the anchovies, but they actually add a really nice depth of flavor without being fishy. This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
