Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, slivered
1 teaspoon dried red pepper chili flakes
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 pound angel hair pasta
6 cups lightly packed wild arugula (Israeli if possible)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • In a dry skillet over low heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the panko bread crumbs and toast until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put into a bowl and set aside.
  • Set the skillet pan back over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, the garlic and the red pepper flakes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes to infuse the oil and cook the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the lemon zest and remove from the heat.
  • In a large pot of well-salted boiling water, over medium heat, add the angel hair pasta and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and add to a large mixing bowl. While still warm, toss in the arugula, the infused oil, the bread crumbs and the cheese. Using tongs gently fold everything together and transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve. If desired, serve with braised braciole.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The pasta was overcooked and the arugula was wilted. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it needed more lemon juice and salt.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili flakes.

I'm not usually a fan of arugula, but it really worked in this dish. It added a nice bitterness that balanced out the other flavors.
