Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For arugula purée
2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted and cooled
5 oz baby arugula, coarsely chopped (7 cups)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano
1 teaspoon salt
For cherry-tomato sauce
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed with side of a large knife
1 1/2 lb cherry tomatoes (about 5 cups), trimmed if necessary
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb dried fettuccine (not made with egg)
Accompaniment: grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Make purée:
  • Pulse pine nuts in a food processor until finely ground (be careful not to grind to a paste). Add arugula, oil, cheese, and salt and pulse until almost smooth.
  • Make tomato sauce:
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are collapsed but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cook and serve pasta:
  • Cook fettuccine in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add arugula purée and toss until well coated. Transfer to a platter or plates and top with tomato sauce.

This dish was just okay. The arugula purée was a bit too peppery for my taste, and the cherry tomatoes were not very sweet. The sauce was also a bit too oily. I would not make this recipe again.

This pasta dish was a disappointment. The arugula purée was bland and the cherry tomatoes were tasteless. The sauce was also very watery and lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.
