"Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet."
-Julia Child, Genius

The refrigerator light goes on...

With a lot of greens I like to use a bit of sweetness, especially when the greens are bitter, as with arugula or others like spinach or collards. Sometimes I will use just a touch of maple syrup because there's a smoky, umami flavor. Arugula is more delicate and the honey is a better choice. It's easy to overdo it so I always use a measuring spoon.

Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray lightly with olive oil. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts begin to turn light brown.

When the pinenuts have browned, add the arugula and cook, tossing frequently.

As the arugula begins to wilt add the honey and salt. Toss and serve.
