Sauteed Arugula With Pancetta And Garlic Recipes

SAUTEED ARUGULA

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! :).

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.

WILTED ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add arugula; cook, stirring constantly, until slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook, stirring constantly, until most of the vinegar has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in salt; season with pepper. Serve immediately.

PENNE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Cook pancetta in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer pancetta with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. 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. Stir in cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and pancetta and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then add arugula and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.
• 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.

SAUTéED ARUGULA AND TOMATOES WITH CHEESE AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Cook pine nuts in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat tossing occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate; set aside.
• Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes; cook, tossing occasionally, until skins are lightly charred and start to split, pressing down with back of a spoon a few times, 6-10 minutes.
• Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer.
• Add arugula to tomato mixture; cook, tossing with tongs, just until wilted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss. Spoon arugula mixture into a serving bowl; sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts.
• Serving size: about 2/3 cup

SPICY SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH TAMARI AND TOASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chile flakes, fry until the garlic is a golden color, about 2 minutes. Throw in the asparagus, tamari, and black pepper, to taste and saute for 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.

SAUTEED ARUGULA WITH PANCETTA AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Saute the garlic and pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to crisp and turn golden. If the pancetta is lean and renders little fat, add the olive oil. Add the arugula and cook, turning occasionally, until the leaves wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
