This week I am preparing a luncheon for my husband's colleague in Germany who is retiring next week. Will he be joining us on Thursday? Nope....he's in Germany! But we are still celebrating for him here. It is the thought that counts. The menu is the lemony pasta with arugula and chicken with goat cheese and basil. These are two tasty dishes and if they sound good to you, you won't be disappointed.
serves 4 with a prep time of 20 minutes (nice!)
Ingredients:
coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound of short tubular pasta (Delallo brand, Gemelli #28, made in Italy)
3 ounces wild or baby arugula (3 cups)
2 t. grated lemon zest plus 1 T. lemon juice (fresh lemons are so nice to have around & I love my "microplane zester/grater!)
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 c. grated pecorino cheese plus more for serving (buy a chunk of it and grate it)
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine arugula with lemon zest and juice, season with salt and pepper. Drain pasta and immediately add to arugula along with oil and cheese. Toss and season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with more cheese if desired.
I recommend EVERYDAY FOODS to everyone. The pictures of the dish are inviting and all the recipes are easy to follow. Issues include a grocery list with menu for each night of the week. I haven't tried that yet....BUT I WILL.
