Ingredients
Directions
- PREPARATION: Finely chop/mince garlic cloves.
- Cook the pasta until al dente.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, squeeze the tomatoes to break them up (it's faster than chopping, and your kid will likely love joining in).
- Add the garlic, oil, arugula (if using), salt, and pepper; set aside.
- Drain the pasta (reserving 1/2 cup of the water) and toss it with the tomatoes. If the pasta is still a little dry, add some of the cooking water.
- Let sit until the heat from the pasta has cooked the tomatoes and garlic slightly and wilted the arugula, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
