ARUGULA PESTO RECIPE (serves 4):
➖
GARLICKY BREADCRUMBS:
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sourdough breadcrumbs
1 garlic clove, very finely minced
salt + pepper
➖
ARUGULA PESTO PASTA:
3-4 large garlic cloves, peeled
5 oz baby arugula
3 T toasted pine nuts
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
salt + pepper
1 box Barilla Collezione Rigatoni
➖
DIRECTIONS:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Make the breadcrumbs: Heat oil in a small skillet. Add the breadcrumbs and toast for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and continue sautéing for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Prepare Arugula Pesto Pasta: Pulse the garlic cloves in a large food processor until finely minced. Add the arugula, pine nuts, lemon juice, and olive oil. Pulse until mostly smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add the Barilla Collezione Rigatoni to the boiling (salted) water and cook until al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the pasta in a colander. Transfer the pasta back to the same pot, add the arugula pesto, grated parmigiano cheese, and toss until evenly coated - adding cooking water as necessary.
Serve the pasta topped with a sprinkling of garlicky breadcrumbs. Top with grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese and toasted pine nuts (as desired).
