Looking for a quick weeknight dinner? This vegetarian pasta dish comes together quickly, with arugula being the star of the show. Sautéing arugula in olive oil mollifies its sharp flavor and transforms it into something quite different. Be sure to let us know how you like it in the comments below!

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
