Ingredients
- 400 g linguini pasta
- 100 g sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 100 g arugula (rocket)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 50 g parmesan cheese (optional for serving)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
Meanwhile, finely slice the sun-dried tomatoes and peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through and infuse the oil with flavor.
Step 5
Add the drained, cooked linguini to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta with the sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the mixture.
Step 6
Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste, then fold in the arugula. Allow the residual heat to wilt the arugula slightly.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
