The stracchino, a soft and creamy cheese, gently melts with the pasta, creating an enveloping and succulent sauce.

- Pan
Steps
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the pasta. Drain it al dente, reserving some cooking water. Meanwhile, in a heated non-stick pan over low heat, add the stracchino cheese and milk. Melt gently, stirring with a spatula until creamy. Add the fresh arugula to the pan with the melted stracchino and stir gently until the arugula slightly wilts. If necessary, you can add a bit of pasta cooking water to achieve a creamier consistency and help the sauce adhere better to the pasta.
Add the drained pasta to the pan with the stracchino cheese and arugula sauce. Stir well to ensure the pasta is completely covered by the sauce.
Now you have a delicious light pasta with stracchino cheese and arugula without the use of oil and butter. Enjoy your meal
Tips
Once ready, you can garnish the pasta with some fresh arugula leaves and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, and if you desire a touch of spiciness, you can add some crushed red pepper.
You can substitute stracchino cheese with crescenza cheese.
