Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup chopped walnuts
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups coarsely chopped arugula, stems included
¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 (16 ounce) package dry pasta

Steps:

  • Combine the walnuts, garlic, arugula, and cilantro or basil in a food processor or blender. Whirl them just until they are coarsely chopped. While the machine is running, add the olive oil in a thin stream. Transfer the pesto to a bowl. (At this point the pesto can be frozen. Thaw it before proceeding.)
  • Stir the Parmesan cheese, salt, and cayenne into the pesto
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it is just tender. Drain the pasta, return it to the empty pot, and toss it with the pesto, adding a tablespoon or two of water if necessary to distribute the pesto evenly.
  • Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl or to individual plates, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and serve.
