Total Time 45 min

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. linguine
• 3 tbsp. butter
• 2 large shallots, minced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 large handfuls arugula
• Kosher salt
• Ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook linguine to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve about ½ cup pasta water.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add balsamic vinegar and allow to simmer until cooked down to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and whisk to combine with the balsamic vinegar. Allow to simmer over low heat until the mixture has reduced to about 1 to 1 ¼ cups. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Once pasta has finished cooking, add directly to skillet with cream sauce. Toss to combine. Add some of the reserved pasta water if it is too thick.
