I’ve been somewhat fascinated by the idea of putting potatoes in a pasta dish since I first saw a recipe for it a couple years ago, and my Inner American gasped “All of that starch! How totally unhealthy!” forgetting, as usual, that the people in the world that eat dishes like this are for the most part, 75 percent of the size of your average American.

Ingredients
- Serves 4
- 1 pound firm boiling potatoes (I’d recommend fingerlings, even though we couldn’t find them)
- About 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 bunches rocket (about a half pound)
- 1 small red onion
- 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, or as per my experience, 1 or 2
- 1 sprig rosemary (optional)
- 3/4 pound penne or other tubular pasta
- 1/2 lemon
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Slice the potatoes about 1/3 inch thick and toss them with a small amount of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer in an ovenproof dish or on a baking sheet (I like to line mine with parchment, to make everything — and clean-up, easier) and roast in
