MAIN DISH

FRESH PASTA WITH ARUGULA AND CHORIZO

Start to finish: 10 minutes.

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• Pinch red pepper flakes

• 8 to 9 ounces chopped or crumbled chorizo, casings removed

• 12-ounce package fresh linguini

• 3 cups arugula

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high, heat the oil. Add the garlic powder and red pepper flakes, then heat for 30 seconds. Add the chorizo and sauté until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the pasta to the water and cook until just al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, then add it to the skillet with the chorizo. Toss well, then add the arugula and cheese. Toss again until the arugula is wilted and the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper. Servings: 4.
