Spaghetti with Tomatoes& Arugula

Directions

Cook the pasta until almost al dente; add the arugula, cook for a few moments then drain.

Meanwhile, lightly sauté the shallots or garlic in the olive oil.

Add the tomatoes. Cook over high heat until the sauce thickens, then season with the salt and hot pepper flakes or cayenne.

Toss the pasta and arugula with the tomato sauce and serve immediately.

VARIATIONS: Add the arugula to the tomato sauce rather than the pasta.

Use wholewheat pasta instead of spaghetti and broccoli tops instead of the arugula.

This will need more red pepper flakes.

Finish with a sprinkling of fresh herbs such as basil or oregano.
