Spaghetti with Lime and Arugula

Ingredients

  • Coarse salt
  • 1 pound (dry) spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (preferably a fruity variety)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded lime rind
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 red mild chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons salt-packed capers, rinsed
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 5 ounces arugula, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 5 ounces soft marinated feta cheese in oil
  • Freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water; add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the lime rind, garlic, chile pepper, and capers; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add prosciutto, and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes. Add drained spaghetti, and toss to coat and heat through.
  2. Toss the arugula and lime juice with the pasta, and pile into serving bowls. Top with feta cheese and a little of the marinating oil. Sprinkle with pepper, and serve immediately.
