Lemon-Garlic Spaghetti with Sausage Meatballs
Makes: 4 servings
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Ingredients
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, 5 very thinly sliced and 1 grated
1 lemon; zested and juiced
3 mini whole wheat pitas, torn into big pieces
3 cups baby arugula, coarsley chopped
1 pound sweet or hot italian pork sausage; casings removed
1 cup loosely packed shredded gruyere
salt and pepper
1 13 1/4 ounce box whole wheat spaghetti
1 1/4 cups grape tomatoes, halved
Directions
In a small saucepan, cook 1/4 cup olive oil and the sliced garlic over
low heat until the garlic is fragrant and golden, 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
In a food processor, pulse the pitas to very fine crumbs and transfer to
a large bowl. Finely chop 6 tbsp of the arugula and stir into the
crumbs along with the sausage, cheese and grated garlic. Form into 12
meatballs.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over
medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until well browned on all
sides, 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and a generous pinch of salt. Cover,
lower the heat to medium and cook, turning once, until just cooked
through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the
spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain
the pasta, return it to the pot and toss with the garlic oil, lemon
juice, the remaining arugula and the tomatoes. Season with salt and
pepper. Serve with the meatballs.
Tip Swap It
For a Middle Eastern twist, add 1 tsp ground cumin to the meatball mixture and use cilantro instead of arugula.
