I believe that, if cooked right, anyone can be convinced to love greens, and this sauteed arugula is the perfect example of that. It takes all the zingy, zesty flavor of fresh arugula and adds some butter and seasoning to create the best flavor. Sauteeing is a great way to cook vegetables quickly while adding a lot of flavors to create a really memorable side dish. Another green that is great to saute is spinach, but I also love whipping up some sauteed carrots or broccolini.
