Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes, remembering to reserve ½ cup of cooking water before draining.
  2. Prepare the Persimmons: While the pasta is cooking, wash and slice the ripe persimmons into thin wedges.
  3. Sauté the Greens: Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Toss in the arugula and sauté for about 2 minutes until it’s vibrantly wilted.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In the skillet, add the drained pasta and sliced persimmons to the sautéed arugula. Toss everything together, slowly adding reserved pasta water until the pasta is well-coated.
  5. Season and Serve: Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Gently toss once more, then serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil if you wish.
  6. Plate Up: Serve your Savory Delightful Autumn Persimmon Arugula Pasta on beautiful plates.
