Pasta with Arugula Purée and Cherry-Tomato Sauce
['2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted and cooled', '5 oz baby arugula, coarsely chopped (7 cups)', '1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil', '1/2 oz finely grated Pecorino Romano', '1 teaspoon salt', '3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil', '2 garlic cloves, crushed with side of a large knife', '1 1/2 lb cherry tomatoes (about 5 cups), trimmed if necessary', '3/4 teaspoon salt', '1 lb dried fettuccine (not made with egg)', 'Accompaniment: grated Pecorino Romano']
Pulse pine nuts in a food processor until finely ground (be careful not to grind to a paste). Add arugula, oil, cheese, and salt and pulse until almost smooth.
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are collapsed but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cook fettuccine in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add arugula purée and toss until well coated. Transfer to a platter or plates and top with tomato sauce.
