Creamy Arugula Sauce Recipes

STUFFED SHELLS WITH CHICKEN AND ARUGULA AND CREAMY ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil add the pasta shells and cook for approximately 9 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water being careful not to break the shells. Set aside.
• Meanwhile prepare the filling. In a large bowl mix together the ricotta and Parmesan. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook 1 minute, being careful not to brown it. Stir in the arugula until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped chicken and stir well. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Add chicken mixture to cheese mixture and stir carefully. Stuff each shell with approximately 1/2 cup of the cheese filling and place in prepared baking dish.
• For sauce, heat the butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not brown. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the cream and milk and whisk until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Remove from heat and add the chives, 1 cup Parmesan, cherry tomatoes and stir gently. Pour sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley.

CREAMY LEMON ARUGULA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain and set the pasta aside. Note: Try to time this so that the pasta finishes cooking right as the sauce is done.
• Arrange the squash slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown all over. Turn off the oven and keep the squash warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 5 minutes, often stirring, until softened.
• Add the celery leaves or garlic and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant-season with salt.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or use 1 tablespoon butter). Add the flour and cook, sizzling it in the oil and stirring until nutty and aromatic.
• Add in half a cup of milk and constantly whisk until a slurry forms.
• Continue adding milk in half cup increments until all of the milk is incorporated. Whisk after each addition. Bring to a very low boil and then simmer for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sauce is thickened to your liking-taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the arugula and cook until wilted. Add the parsley and lemon juice and cook for 1 minute more-taste and season once more to your preferences. Reduce heat to low.
• Sauce the pasta:
• Add 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water along with the cooked pasta and toss to coat. If needed, add a splash of the pasta water until the sauce is glossy and completely coats the pasta. Turn off the heat.
• Divide the pasta between plates and arrange the roasted squash on top. Garnish with more parsley, if you like. Enjoy!

LINGUINE WITH MUSSELS AND ARUGULA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a kettle cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the wine, the clam juice, and the water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the mussels, steam them, covered, for 2 minutes, or until they are opened, transferring them with tongs as they open to a bowl, and discard any that are unopened. Let the mussels cool until they can be handled and remove them from their shells, discarding the shell.
• Boil the liquid remaining in the kettle until it is reduced to about 1 cup, add the cream, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened. Stir in the arugula, the mussels with any liquid that has accumulated in the bowl, and salt and pepper to taste. In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the linguine until it is al dente, drain it well, and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the mussel mixture and toss the mixture well.
