This is no ordinary pasta. Classic basil pesto is enhanced with peppery, smoky arugula, earthy walnuts and the freshness of parsley. Ingredients:
2 cups basil leaves |
2 cups arugula leaves |
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves |
3 tablespoons walnuts |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, peeled |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
1/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 cups hot cooked linguine (about 1 pound uncooked pasta) |
Directions:
1. Place first 6 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 7 or 8 times or until mixture forms a smooth paste. Add cheese, broth, salt, and pepper; pulse until combined. Combine pesto and pasta in a large bowl, tossing to coat.
