Our CSA this week included a beautiful bunch of fresh arugula. I was not sure how best to present this to my boys. Arugula is a slightly sharp green. Some people love it raw, but I was not sure if my guys would go for that. I decided to wilt it and combine it with a pasta dish. It went over well, BIG TIME. I had to tell them they could not eat any more. If it keeps them coming back for arugula, this recipe is a keeper! We also used the fresh sage, oregano, and green garlic that came in our box.
Arugula Pasta
1, 16 oz. bag of Trader Joes Quinoa/Brown Rice pasta
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup snipped green garlic stems (If you do not have green garlic available, 2 cloves diced will do)
1 cup frozen peas
2 fresh sage leaves, diced
1 tsp fresh oregano
Salt and Pepper
drizzle of olive oil
1/2 lb arugula chopped
1. Prepare pasta to package directions
2. In a medium skillet saute the onion with 1 tbsp water. When the onion begins to brown add the frozen peas, garlic snips, sage and oregono. Stir ingredients until the peas are warmed through.
3. Add 3 tbsp of water to the skillet, then add the arugula. Turn the arugula, mixing it with the peas and onion until the arugula is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Toss the cooked veggie mixture with the prepared pasta and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss again, serve and enjoy.

**Product Review: This Brown Rice and Quinoa pasta is great! It has an excellent texture (as long as you cook it exactly right) and it tastes good. Best of all it is gluten free, and only $2.99
