Ingredients
- 6 cups of fresh arugula
- 16 ounces of dried whole-wheat spaghetti
- 1⁄4 cup of olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
Method
Begin by placing the arugula in a large bowl.
Cook the whole-wheat spaghetti in a large pot according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the pomegranate molasses, allowing it to heat through.
Once the spaghetti reaches al dente consistency, drain it, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Add the hot oil and cooked spaghetti to the bowl of arugula, tossing gently to combine.
If the pasta appears dry, incorporate a splash of reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Season the dish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
