Call me crazy, but, I’m willing to bet that while you cut and wash lettuce before making a salad you don’t think to yourself “man this lettuce smells good!” Well, guess what? I must be crazy because those were my exact thoughts while preparing the arugula for this tart (that and how I wish there was such thing as an arugula smelling candle—weird!). <br /> <br />Arugula, also known as rocket lettuce, has a fresh, peppery smell that I just adore. Although I typically eat it raw in a salad with goat cheese and some dried fruit, this particular day I was living on the edge and decided to cook it into a tart. The recipe below details how to make a homemade tart crust (butter, butter and more butter—yum!), but if time is of the essence to you, this meal can easily be made with store bought dough. It’s great for a quick weeknight meal and spectacular for leftovers the next day.
