Pasta with Tuna, Arugula, and Hot Pepper by Elise

Wednesday, August 19 2009 - by Elise Bauer, Original Recipe by Janet Fletcher of the San Francisco Chronicle

Pasta with Tuna, Arugula, and Hot Pepper by Elise

Elise's Pasta with Tuna, Arugula, and Hot Pepper recipe covers all your dinner bases. Arugula, the center piece, is a nice bitter leaf that wilts over heat and can be tossed into a pasta like an herb. Tuna adds protein, substance and texture to the dish, while hot pepper adds incredible flavor dimensions. Spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine ties the whole thing together, resulting in an easy, healthy, complete, but still decadent, pasta dinner.
