Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 400 g spaghetti, thin ribbon pasta or penne
  • 1 bunch arugula
  • 1 clove(s) garlic
  • ½ tsp sambal oelek
  • 2 tsp pesto (wild garlic)
  • 1 beefsteak tomato(s)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, best (or more)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Variation of the cold tomato sauce

Cook the pasta. Meanwhile, wash the arugula, roughly chop it, and place it in a large bowl. Crush the garlic, add the sambal, and wild garlic paste, and mix everything well. Add the oil and mix everything well again. Add the diced tomato and finally the cooked pasta. Mix thoroughly and season to taste. Don’t be too sparing with the salt. Alternatively, you can, of course, mix the oil with the garlic, sambal, and wild garlic paste and add it to the pasta. Since I’m a lazy person, I prefer the former method. This pasta dish can be eaten hot or cold.
