Ingredients
- 12 oz. whole-wheat penne
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 3 cups sliced cimimi mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp. coarse salt
- 1 (12 oz.) jar roasted red peppers, rinsed and cut into thin slices (1 1/2 cups)
- 8 cups arugula leaves (8 oz.)
- 2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided use
- Ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds
Directions
- Cook penne according to package directions. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking water; drain penne.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant but not brown. Add mushrooms and salt; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until browned (add a little water if mixture seems dry). Stir in roasted red peppers and arugula; increase heat to medium-high. Cook 3 or 4 minutes or until arugula is wilted.
- Place penne in a large, warm bowl. Add reserved water, arugula mixture, 1/3 cup parmesan and black pepper; toss to coat. Sprinkle with almonds and remaining parmesan. Serve immediately.
