Arugula Agar Spaghetti

Arugula Mix Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh arugula

- 2/3 cup water

- 1 small shallot

- salt

Arugula Spaghetti Ingredients

- 200 g (7 oz) arugula mix

- 3.2 g Agar Agar

Preparation

Blend arugula, peeled shallot and water in a blender to obtain a very smooth liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Get ready surgical tubing and syringe. 

Put the liquefied arugula in a saucepan, dissolve the agar agar and bring it to the boil, stirring constantly with a beater. Take off the heat and skim to eliminate any impurities. Fill the syringe and with it fill the tubes, which will have been rolled and secured with a little adhesive tape for greater comfort. Submerge the full tubes in cold water so that the liquefied arugula sets in a few minutes.

With an empty syringe, inject air into the tube to obtain the spaghetti. 

Notes:

 This was really hard to do being it came out in sort of a liquid fashion. I actually had to order a extra tub of Agar Agar to just get this to work.
