This pasta dish was so easy, scrumptious, and light. It took about 20 minutes to throw together, and I made it with items I already had on hand. Let me show you the way.
capalini pasta
basil
crushed tomatoes
parmesean cheese
half and half
white wine
butter
onion
mushrooms
garlic
arugula
lemon
olive oil
Bring a pot of water to boil. Season with salt. The water should taste like the sea, that's how you know it's seasoned correctly. Cook the pasta al dente. Drain. Melt butter in pan, add mushrooms and onions. Season with salt, mushrooms are like sponges so add plenty of salt. Add crushed tomatoes and wine. Lower to a simmer and reduce by half. Add a splash of half and half, lemon juice, basil, and garlic. Add capalini pasta, and combine. Mix arugula with a drizzle of olive oil, add lemon zest, basil, and parmesean cheese. Serve with small salad on top of pasta.
This dish is gorgeous. I love the play of color, and the brightness of the flavors. Let me know what you think.
