Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz uncooked penne pasta
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup roasted shelled pistachios
6 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded peeled tomato
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 (15-oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (5-oz) package arugula
1/4 cup (1 oz) shredded fresh pecorino romano cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain.
Combine basil, nuts, and garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add basil mixture, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in pasta, tomato, and next 3 ingredients (through beans); cook for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, tossing to combine. Remove from heat. Add arugula to pan, and toss to slightly wilt. Place about 1 1/4 cups pasta mixture in each of 4 bowls, and top each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese.
