Pantry items:

  • Salt

Instructions:

1) Bring a large pot of salted water (it should taste like the sea!) to a robust boil.

2) Smear the ricotta chèvre onto a serving plate and top with the arugula and beets, allowing their juices to dress the greens. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3) Add spaghetti to boiling water. This is fresh, artisanal pasta so it will cook in about 8-10 minutes. Boil the pasta until it is cooked al dente (a slightly chewy bite in the middle).

4) Meanwhile, place half of the parmesan into a large mixing bowl and quickly whisk in 1 cup of the pasta water to create a smooth sauce. Stir in a very generous pinch of tuxedo pepper blend.

Chef’s Tip: A fork works great to whisk the sauce! Don’t miss Ethan’s tips in the QR code on the back!

5) When the pasta is ready, quickly toss it in the sauce to coat. Top with additional parmesan and more pepper, to taste.

6) Serve tableside with the beet salad and the marinated olives!
