This is from Barefoot Contessa, but I changed some ingredients to lower the calories and fat. It still has the same great taste!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb arugula
1 bunch broccoli
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb whole wheat pasta (Preferable fusilli)
1 pint grape tomatoes
3 lemons
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook for 60 seconds. Add the the zest from 2 lemons, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the broccoli in florets and discard the stem. Cook the florets in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain the broccoli and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook according to the directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta in a colander and place it back into the pot. Immediately add the lemon mixture and cook it over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until most of the sauce has been absorbed in the pasta. Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl, add the arugula,tomatoes, and cooked broccoli. Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4-inch thick crosswise, and add it to the pasta. Toss well, season to taste, and serve hot.
  • Parmasean cheese can also be added.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less Parmesan cheese.

I wasn't sure about the arugula in this dish, but I'm glad I tried it! It added a really nice peppery flavor that balanced out the richness of the sauce.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit too strong for me and I didn't really care for the texture of the arugula.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder lemon flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did because the bitterness of the arugula actually worked really well with the lemony sauce. I'll definitely be making this again!
