PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, PANCETTA AND ARUGULA



Pasta With Roasted Garlic, Pancetta and Arugula image

For this pasta, garlic is roasted in the oven to bring out its sweetness, then sautéed with bold flavors: salty pancetta, fiery chile flakes and a squeeze of lemon. Chopped peppery arugula and a pound of penne round out the dish. It takes 40 minutes to an hour to roast the garlic, but you can do it a day in advance, and it is worth it for the final, honeyed results.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 fat bulbs green garlic or 4 heads regular garlic
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound penne rigate
1/2 pound pancetta, chopped
1 large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
2 large bunches arugula, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Trim hairy root and green stem from green garlic, or trim 1/4-inch off top of regular garlic, making sure to expose all cloves.
  • Place garlic in a small, shallow baking dish, root side down, and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Cover dish with foil. Roast until cloves or bulbs are golden brown, about 40 minutes to 1 hour (green garlic will cook faster than regular garlic). If bottom of dish starts to burn before garlic is roasted, add one tablespoon water. Transfer to a rack to cool. Garlic can be roasted up to one day ahead; wrap well and store in refrigerator.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  • While pasta cooks, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add pancetta and red pepper flakes. Sauté until pancetta is golden and crisp around edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Peel outside layer of green garlic, or if using regular garlic, squeeze cloves from their papery skins. Chop roasted garlic, and add to skillet with lemon juice and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add drained pasta and arugula to skillet, place over low heat, and toss until arugula wilts. Add just enough cooking water to scrape up brown bits in pan (do this 1 tablespoon at a time). Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with Parmesan.

Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound thinly sliced pancetta, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped

Add onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, cook penne in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • Add pasta and cheese to skillet and toss with sauce. Thin sauce with some of reserved cooking water, then stir in basil.

SAUTEED ARUGULA



Sauteed Arugula image

This spicy green is one of my favorites to toss on a salad, and I was craving something warm, so I decided to try sauteeing it in a healthy way--no oil! In just a couple minutes, I had a great warm topping to cover my lettuce and serve with other toppings. **Note: I am updating the recipe, as I think it deserves higher than the two stars it has gotten :( I have problems with onions (or my stomach thinks it does!), so I don't use them, but for those of you out there who want onions in the arugula, go for it! Here's a revised version of how to make the arugula, a bit more calorie-rich, but I'm sure many will find the taste improved. (Just for the record, I still like the greens without the onion and oil added, but I'm used to a blander diet.) Additional note: the original recipe, without the oil, onions and garlic, was 11 calories; I wouldn't worry about the onions and garlic, but you could definitely leave out the oil if you didn't want to add those extra calories.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ounces fresh arugula, washed and trimmed
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped or sliced
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic

Steps:

  • In frying pan, heat chicken broth and spices to boiling.
  • After bringing to a boil, add the arugula, tossing gently to cover all with the broth.
  • Let sit for a minute or two, stirring occasionally, until all leaves are wilted. (Additional broth may be needed to keep moist.).
  • I found this to be a great salad topping, or fantastic on top of lumpy mashed potatoes.
  • **For those who want a more flavor-rich side, try the following:.
  • Add 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil to the pan first; heat oil and cook 1/4 cup chopped (or sliced) onion and 1 teaspoons minced garlic until onions are tender. Then proceed with the broth, arugula and spices.
  • I hope this is satisfying! :).
