Time 40m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 cups heavy cream
3 lemons
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb dried fusilli
1/2 lb baby arugula (or 2 bunches regular arugula, stems removed and leaves cut into thirds)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 pint grape tomatoes or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, and cook for 60 seconds, then add the cream, the zest and juice of 2 of the lemons, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook al dente according to the directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • Immediately add the cream mixture and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until the pasta has absorbed most of the sauce.
  • Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl and add the arugula, Parmesan and tomatoes.
  • Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4-inch thick crosswise, and add a few slices to the pasta. Toss well, season to taste, and serve hot.

I don't recommend this dish. It was a lot of work for not a lot of flavor.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. It's not something I would make on a regular basis.

It took me a little longer than 30 minutes to make this dish. It was more like 45 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have added more salt and pepper.

The fusilli was a little overcooked. I would have preferred it to be more al dente.

The lemon sauce was a bit too tart for my taste. I would have preferred a little more sweetness.

I added some chopped almonds to the dish for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover arugula. I usually have a bunch of arugula left in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up.

I was a bit skeptical of the arugula, but it turned out to be a great addition to the dish. It added a nice peppery bite.

I'm not much of a cook but this recipe was so easy to follow. My fusilli with arugula turned out great, thanks to you.

This dish was so flavorful and fresh! The lemon and arugula paired perfectly together, and the fusilli was cooked al dente.
