Radiatori with Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes, and Pancetta
4 ounces sliced pancetta or bacon, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press
1 pound cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 package (16 ounces) radiatori or rotini
2 bunches arugula (10 ounces each), trimmed
1⁄4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1. In nonstick 10-inch skillet, cook pancetta over
medium heat until lightly browned. (If cooking bacon,
discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.) Add garlic
and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, salt,
and pepper and cook until tomatoes are warmed
through, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
2. Meanwhile, in large saucepot, cook pasta as label
directs. Drain. In warm serving bowl, toss pasta with
pancetta mixture, arugula, and Parmesan. Makes 4
main-dish servings.
No need to cook the arugula in this easy dish; it quickly
wilts when tossed with the hot pasta and sauce.
