Time 40m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 cups heavy cream
3 lemons
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb dried fusilli
1/2 lb baby arugula (or 2 bunches regular arugula, stems removed and leaves cut into thirds)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 pint grape tomatoes or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for 60 seconds, then add the cream, the zest and juice of 2 of the 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, until it starts to thicken.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook al dente according to the directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • Immediately add the cream mixture and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until the pasta has absorbed most of the sauce.
  • Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl and add the arugula, Parmesan and tomatoes.
  • Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4-inch thick crosswise, and add a few slices to the pasta. Toss well, season to taste, and serve hot.
