Preparation Steps
1
Wash the arugula thoroughly, then drain well. Grate the Parmesan cheese and peel the garlic cloves.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
3
Add the arugula and cook over low heat until slightly wilted, about 2 minutes.
4
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the arugula flavor to infuse the sauce.
5
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and silky.
6
Use an immersion blender to purée the sauce until creamy. Serve warm over pasta or grilled meats.
