Arugula and White Beans

First century Rome predated Viagra by quite a bit. They had their own aphrodisiac — arugula.
Pliny the Elder raved about its amatory properties. This luscious dish is arugula-packed and easy. It’s party-perfect, because you can make it in advance and tastes best at room temperature, so it’s sturdy enough to for a buffet. It requires only half a dozen ingredients and arousal begins when you eat it.
