Rocket is another name for arugula. I love to use it as an herb, but don't buy it in the herb section of the supermarket; buy it in the lettuce section. This is an incredibly fast, incredibly simple, but satisfying rustic bean side dish.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The beans were tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out mushy. I'm going to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.
