Bahan-bahan
- 8 ounces whole wheat spaghetti pasta or fettuccini (or another long pasta, which works well for pesto)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup Basil Pesto (or prepared pesto of choice)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (plus additional to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups arugula or spinach
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts* (optional for serving)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Langkah-langkah
-
Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions. RESERVE 3/4 CUP OF THE PASTA WATER.
-
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until beginning to burst, about 4 minutes.
-
As soon as the pasta is finished cooking (don’t forget to reserve 3/4 cup of the water), drain it, then immediately add the pasta to the skillet with the tomatoes.
-
Add the pesto, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat the noodles with the pesto, adding additional pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
-
Add the arugula, stirring until it wilts.
-
Sprinkle with pine nuts and Parmesan. Taste and adjust salt as desired. Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan.
