Jump to recipe ↓This week had been one of the coldest time of the year, but that hasn’t stop me from cooking and sharing recipes! I don’t know about you, but I am a fan of arugula especially that spicy taste comes in the end.
Many of you probably grow some vegetables and herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint in your garden or kitchen. In the upcoming summer, planting arugula is definitely something on my to-do list. Before that, I can only get them from supermarket. There are a variety of recipes to do with arugula, but we are going to start with something simple. (Simple and tasty is a must in my cooking bible)
This is a pasta salad everyone can pull off with handy ingredients. I am using some canned salmon, but tuna is another great option. If you have friends coming over and want to make a dish quickly then this one good choice. Here is what you need:
Coming up with a series of desserts recipes next week! If you are worrying what to make for Valentine’s Day dessert, I’ve got some idea for you.
Super excited to share them with you. Ciao!
