Garlic cherry tomato pasta with arugula is a delightful and simple dish perfect for any night of the week. This recipe combines the robust flavor of garlic, the sweetness of cherry tomatoes, and the peppery bite of fresh arugula with al dente pasta. It's a quick and tasty meal that brings together fresh ingredients for a beautifully balanced plate of Italian-inspired comfort food.
- For a richer flavor, consider roasting the cherry tomatoes in the oven with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before adding them to the pasta.
- Be sure to reserve some pasta water before draining. Adding a splash of this starchy water to the pasta after combining it with the sauce helps bind the sauce and pasta together.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use high-quality olive oil, as it will significantly enhance the taste of the final dish.
- If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
