1/4 cup Peppadews plus 1 tablespoon brine 

1/4 cup toasted blanched almonds 

1/2 smashed garlic clove

8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti 

Salt and pepper 

3/4 cup crumbled feta 

3 cups arugula 

Preparation

Pulse Peppadews and brine, almonds, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. With machine running, add olive oil to form a loose paste.
