Instructions

  1. In a pasta pot, follow package instructions and cook pasta al dente. Reserve 2 tbsp of pasta water before draining. Set aside.
  2. In a cast iron skillet over medium/high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add in the grape tomatoes and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Push them around for an additional 3 minutes, until the outsides are charred/blistered. 
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, arugula, 2 tbsp olive oil, and salt/pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes, until the arugula begins to wilt. Add in the pasta, reserved pasta water, parmesan, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix all together, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve. 

Notes

  • You can only blister the tomatoes and add them to your favorite dishes or use as a side dish.
  • You can substitute cherry tomatoes for grape tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes has a higher water content and thinner skin.
  • This dish may also be served cold as a pasta salad.
