Lemon Fusilli with Arugula

Lemon Fusilli with Arugula

April 11, 2019

RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

3 lemons (I only used 2 lemons)

Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

1 bunch broccoli

1 pound dried fusilli pasta

1/2 pound baby arugula

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook for 60 seconds. Add the cream, the zest from 2 lemons, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
  2. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli in florets and discard the stem. Cook the florets in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain the broccoli and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta, and cook according to the directions on the package, about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta in a colander and place it back into the pot. Immediately add the cream mixture and cook it over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until most of the sauce has been absorbed in the pasta. Pour the hot pasta into a large bowl, add the arugula, Parmesan, tomatoes, and cooked broccoli. Cut the last lemon in half lengthwise, slice it 1/4-inch thick crosswise, and add it to the pasta. Toss well, season to taste, and serve hot.

#AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Gree #AD It's no secret that I love using @chobani Greek Yogurt for numerous recipes on my blog. One of my all-time favorite recipes is this greek chicken! It's so easy to whip up, and Chobani® Greek Yogurt is the star of the dish. I like to use their plain yogurt to make the chicken marinade and also in my simple tzatziki sauce. Did you know that you can now earn on Ibotta with your purchase of Chobani® Greek Yogurt? Find it at @walmart!

Recipe:
Greek Chicken
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Chobani® Non-Fat Plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp fresh or dried dill
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions:
In a large bowl, add minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Chobani® Greek Yogurt, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Add chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinade for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Remove most of the marinade from the chicken before adding it to the skillet, or else it will burn.
Add chicken in an even layer to the skillet, leave some space between the chicken pieces so they'll brown rather than steam. You may need to work in batches depending on how big your skillet is.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes and then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through (165°F).
Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
Serve chicken over rice with a dollop (or two) of tzatziki sauce, diced red onion, fresh dill, and a lemon wedge.
Also find the full recipe for Greek Chicken  on the blog at www.saltandsprinkles.com. #Chobani
