Jens One Pan Penne With Mushrooms And Arugula Recipes

PASTA WITH MUSHROOM, ROASTED GARLIC, AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to cooking instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms for 7-8 minutes, or until almost cooked all the way. Add in shallots, walnuts, roasted garlic, rosemary and salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until shallots are translucent. Add arugula, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
• Toss the mushroom garlic mixture together with the pasta. Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Garnish with chives and Parmesan. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, PANCETTA AND ARUGULA

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.
