I made the Pappardelle using my favorite pasta recipe from Tide and Thyme.
The meal came together quickly. I had everything prepped ahead of time. Tearing the Prosciutto may take longer than you think so it is best to have all your mis en place ready.
Pappardelle with Arugula and Prosciutto, from Bon Appetit May 2013
Ingredients -
1/2 pound pappardelle or fettuccine
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, white and pale greens only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus more for serving
1 bunch arugula, thick stems trimmed, leaves torn (about 4 cups)
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces prosciutto, torn into 1-inch pieces
Method -
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 5-8 minutes.
Add pasta, chives, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, and 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing and adding more cooking liquid by 1/4-cupfuls as needed, until a glossy sauce forms that coats pasta, about 4 minutes.
Add arugula and 1/3 cup Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Add prosciutto and toss again. Top pasta with more lemon zest and Parmesan.
And to snack on with a cocktail while preparing dinner I made Spicy Roasted Chickpeas. I used the recipe from the Martha Stewart site. Cheers!
And Happy 44th Anniversary to my sister and her husband!

I've been seeing roasted chickpeas a couple of places and have got to give them a try - not to mention the pasta with arugula and prosciutto - things I already have in the hosue.
I agree Linda. I love when I find all the ingredients without having to run to the store!
