Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 large leek; halved lengthwise -- sliced thin, rinsed well

6 cloves garlic -- up to 8, minced

1 12-oz bunch escarole -- chopped coarse

1/4 cup raisins -- preferably golden

2 tablespoons capers

1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives

3 cups coarsely chopped arugula leaves -- up to 4

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts -- chopped, lightly toasted

or walnuts or almonds

3/4 pound linguine -- cooked al dente

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Salt -- to taste

 

Set a wok over medium-high heat. Pour the oil around the rim and tilt the pan to

coat the sides. Add the leek and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and

continue to stir-fry for about 3 minutes as you gradually add the escarole.

 

Stir in the raisins, capers, and olives. Add the arugula, parsley, pine nuts,

and pasta; quickly toss with the other ingredients. Remove from the heat and

season with pepper and salt. Serve immediately.

NOTES : A wok easily accommodates the large volume of uncooked greens that go

into this pleasing pasta dish. Piquant escarole and arugula accented by pungent

garlic, capers, and Greek olives and balanced with sweet raisins and pine nuts

provide a satisfying symphony of flavors. [Calories: 498; Total fat: 11 g;
