we need greens!

In an effort to increase the fiber in our diets, arugula is the main feature in this meal.

arugula and nectarine salad
The sweet nectarines were a nice foil for the bitter greens.

spaghetti with raw tomatoes, olives, and arugula
The basic recipe came from Jamie Oliver's cookbook, jamie's dinners. It's super easy because the only cooking you do is boiling the pasta. I added a garlic clove to the cooking water, and then minced it for the sauce.
