Tomato, Goat Cheese, Prosciutto Pasta

Once again this was one of my favorite recipes from a local restaurant. The first time I had tried it was with my husband and in-laws. It has goat cheese in it but it can be made with blue cheese. Although it has a stronger taste than goat cheese. I found happiness in trying to recreate some recipes from local restaurants. Partly due to the pandemic and how the food prices are so high. Being a $20 recipe at the restaurant it can be significantly priced reduced by making it at home.

For this recipe you will need :

1 Pint of cherry tomatoes

100g of prosciutto

2 green onions whites and greens separated

2 garlic cloves sliced

4 cups of arugula

4 tablespoons of goat cheese

Which means finding the item cheaper new rather than going thrift shopping hoping to find it gently used. The dichotomy of this
