Fill a large pot with water and add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Bring to a boil.
2
Cook the gemelli pasta in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.

While the pasta cooks, heat a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

Add the crushed red pepper flakes to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds.
5
Pour a ladle of reserved pasta water into the pan and turn the heat to medium.

Add the al dente pasta and baby arugula to the pan. Toss to coat and season with kosher salt. Cook for 1 minute.
7
Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano to the pan. Toss to combine.
8
If the pasta seems too dry, add a little more reserved pasta water and toss once more.
9
Taste the pasta and adjust salt, if needed. Serve in bowls with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
