ORECCHIETTE WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND ARUGULA
Orecchiette are formed by kneading the dough, letting it rest, then breaking off portions to roll by hand into long skinny ropes. These are cut into pieces, formed into rounds and given the classic cup shape between the index finger and thumb, then flipped inside-out to expose the slightly more textured surface that will "grab" the sauce.

Steps:
- Start bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil on medium-low in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and allow to cook 10 minutes, until oil is fragrant but garlic has not browned. Remove garlic (save for another use). When water boils, stir in pasta.
- Add tomatoes to oil in sauté pan, increase heat to medium-high and, when tomatoes start to shrivel and collapse, reduce heat to low and cook until softened but not shapeless, about 5 minutes. Stir a couple of times. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
- Drain pasta and add to tomatoes, folding both together. Add some pasta water if needed for moistening. Fold in arugula and remaining oil. When arugula has just wilted, season dish with salt and pepper. Serve with a dusting of cheese.

[email protected]The orecchiette was a bit overcooked for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had cooked it for a minute or two less.

[email protected]I found this dish to be a bit too oily. I think it would have been better if I had used less olive oil.

[email protected]This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and chili pepper.
