6-14…Aglio Olio crudo…plus

Fresh baby Arugula in the fridge.  I had some with my eggs this morning and with fresh slices of tomato for lunch.  This evening I thought, what the hell, let’s go for the hat trick today.  The result is Aglio Olio crudo with arugula and mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS:

Spaghetti

Baby arugula, coarsely chopped

White mushrooms

Olive oil

Garlic, finely chopped

Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Grated Gran Padana cheese

Dry basil and oregano

PROCESS:

While waiting for the water to boil sauté the mushrooms in olive oil with the dry herbs then set aside

Place the cooked pasta in a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and mix in the remaining ingredients.  Add some pasta water as needed.  Serve with the grated cheese.

COMMENTS:

The only thing keeping this from a ten rating is that I was a little heavy handed with the garlic.  But otherwise this would be a 10 plus!
