Add 1/2t salt. Taste and season with up to 1T sugar if needed. 3. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until pasta is flexible but not fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Remove 2 cups pasta water, then drain pasta. 4. Transfer pasta to skillet with reduced white wine. Place skillet over medium heat; add 1/2 cup unreduced wine and cook. tossing constantly until wine is fully absorbed. Continue to add remaining wine 1/2 cup at a time until pasta is al dente, about eight minutes. Augment with pasta water if necessary. 5. Remove skillet from heat. Place arugula on top of spaghetti; pour 1/4 cup reserved pasta water over arugula, cover, and let stand for one minute. Add cream and 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano; toss until sauce lightly coats pasta and arugula is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
