SEA SHELL PASTA with pecorino & arugula


What a simple dish! But don't let its simplicity scare you, its a powerhouse of flavor. It is the perfect blend of arugula and pecorino cheese mixed together with one of my favorite pastas, sea shells, which perfectly hold the cheese and arugula together in one bite.

INGREDIENTS
8 ounces sea shell pasta, 3 cups arugula, 4 teaspoons minced garlic in olive oil, 2-4 tablespoons shaved pecorino cheese, salt & pepper to taste, 2 tablespoons olive oil.

DIRECTIONS
In one bowl mix pasta, arugula, and chopped minced garlic (see recipe in archives). Add the pecorino, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix and serve.

SERVING SIZE
2 servings

NOTES
This is a quick pasta dish that you mix together with no heat. Perfect for those warm summer days or an exhausted night at home when you need to fix something quick.
