Pasta with Arugula and Tomatoes

Pasta with Arugula and Tomatoes brings together juicy cherry tomatoes, peppery greens, and a garlicky olive oil pan sauce for a lively, summery bite. The tomatoes soften and sweeten in the skillet while the arugula wilts just enough, creating a bright, balanced dish that’s great for warm evenings or a quick weeknight dinner. Finish with Parmesan for a savory lift.

Pasta with Arugula and Tomatoes
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until slightly firm, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes. Raise the heat, cook, and stir until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the arugula. Toss in the cooked spaghetti and drizzle with olive oil. Serve right away with Parmesan cheese.
