Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 limes
12 ounces spaghetti
2 tbs olive oil plus additional for pasta
1 Garlic clove, peeled and minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp capers, rinsed and drained
6 ounces frech arugula, rinsed, patted dry, and roughly chopped
salt and pepper
1/4 grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Grate the zest of 2 limes and press the juice of 1 of them. Cut the third lime into quarters. Reserve Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until just al dente (you want it to be slightly undercooked). Drain, return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil. Reserve. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbs of olive oil over medium heat and saute the lime zest for 30 seconds. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers and saute for 1 to 2 mins, stirring gently. Add the lime juice and arugula, season to taste and serve immediately with quarters of lime, a drizzle of olive oil, and grated Parmesan.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding a little bit of honey.
