Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 300 g of orecchiette
- 300 g of rocket
- 8 cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 chili pepper
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
Preparation:
Clean and wash the rocket. Cook the rocket in plenty of salted water for 5 minutes.
Add the orecchiette and let everything cook. Meanwhile, in a small pan, put the oil, garlic, and chili pepper.
As soon as the garlic turns golden, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
Once the vegetables and pasta are cooked, season with the tomato sauté and serve.
Notes:
If wild rocket is not available, cultivated arugula can be used: in this case, increase the quantity to 500 g because it has a less intense flavor. Depending on taste, you can add chili powder or pepper.
