Preheat your oven to 450 while you chop up the following: a handful of cherry/grape tomatoes (cut in half), about 10 or so thin asparagus spears, 1-2 cloves garlic to taste, and 1 chicken sausage (if you are an omnivore). Put them in a pan and dress with salt, pepper, rosemary, few tbl of balsamic, and a few tbl of good rosemary. Toss to coat and put them in the oven.
Put several big handfuls of arugula into a bowl and dress with the juice of half a lemon. Put a pot of water on the stove to bring to a boil and go do something else for 10 mins or so.
Come back to find boiling water. Drop some pasta (I like tricolor fusilli for this) and salt the water. Set a timer according to box directions and go back to whatever else you were doing.
When the timer dings, drain the pasta well and throw it into the bowl with the arugula. Pull your veggies/sausage out of the oven and do the same. (If you are a vegetarian, some pine nuts or walnuts would taste good in here for protein.) Grate a tiny bit of parm over the top (for this recipe, if you don't have a block of parm or at least the stuff grated there in the deli for you you might want to leave out the cheese) and toss everything together to mix it. Taste for seasoning and enjoy.
