Spaghetti With Arugula Roasted Peppers Prosciutto Recipes

PASTA WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO AND ARUGULA PESTO

Steps:

• Combine the first three pesto ingredients (arugula, garlic and walnuts) in a blender or food processor and pulse to a coarse consistency.
• Drizzle in the olive oil and continue to pulse/blend until the pesto is the consistency you prefer. I like it somewhere in between smooth and coarse. You can adjust the ingredients further to your tastes if you like.
• Finally, either stir or process in the 2 tablespoons of parmesan.
• Heat the 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat and when hot, add the prosciutto, trying to keep it generally in a single layer as much as possible. Fry for about a minute, turn and fry an additional minute or until crispy. You can kind of visually tell when it's there by the browning and how it's somewhat stiff when turning. Drain on paper towels.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente and drain well. Fold in as much of the pesto as you like, then the prosciutto and the sun-dried tomatoes, if using.
• Finally, garnish with parmesan cheese and EAT, baby, EEEEEAT!

SPAGHETTI WITH LIME & ARUGULA (ROCKET)

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in a large saucepan of rapidly boiling water until it is al dente.
• Drain.
• While that's cooking, remove the zest from the limes and finely shred to make one tablespoonful.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
• If using bacon, add it to the hot oil first and cook until it starts to crisp before adding the lime rind, garlic, chilli and capers.
• Cook for a minute or until fragrant.
• If using prosciutto, stir it in at this point and cook for two minutes or until crisp.
• Add the spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat and heat through.
• To serve, toss the rocket and a bit of lime juice through the pasta and pile into serving bowls.
• Top with the marinated feta, a little of its oil, and a generous grinding of black pepper.
• Serve with a lime wedge on each plate, so people can add more if they like.

PASTA WITH ARUGULA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cook pasta in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
• Return pasta to pot and toss with prosciutto, arugula, Parmigiano- Reggiano, zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle oil over pasta and toss to combine, adding some of reserved cooking water if pasta seems dry.
