Ingredients
2 Tbsp
olive oil, divided
1/4 tsp
crushed red pepper
2
garlic cloves, minced
1 cup
tomato, chopped
4 cups
arugula, trimmed and torn
4 cups
hot, cooked, whole-wheat spaghetti*
1 1/2 Tbsp
red wine vinegar
3/4 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 cup
grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Step by Step Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper and garlic; saute for 20 seconds. Add tomato and arugula; saute 2 minutes or until arugula is wilted. Spoon into a large bowl. Add remaining oil, spaghetti, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss well. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
- *To save calories, used roasted spaghetti squash strands as a substitute for the spaghetti. To roast spaghetti squash, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet in a 400-degree oven for 30-40 minutes. The squash is ready when it is soft and a fork can pull up strands that look like spaghetti.
