Penne with Arugula, Radicchio, and Smoked Mozzarella

Ingredients:

1 lb dried Penne pasta
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (6-oz) head radicchio
9 oz Arugula, trimmed (6 cups)
1 cup fresh basil
4 oz smoked mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Cook pasta in a 6-quart pot of well-salted boiling water until 'al dente'.

While pasta is boiling, whisk together olive oil, zest, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Then thinly slice radicchio, arugula, and basil and add to dressing.

Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain pasta in a colander.

Add hot pasta and reserved cooking water to greens and let stand 1 minute to wilt.

Add mozzarella and lemon juice and toss well.

Season with salt and pepper and serve warm. Makes 6 servings.

That's it!

He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!"

So what’s the labyrinth?

That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?
