If you have a busy day or you just don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen pasta with pesto might be a good solution and on top of that it tastes yummy. You can use store bought pesto or you can use homemade (I often make a big batch and keep it in the refrigerator for later use). In this recipe I have used arugula pesto but you might as well use basil pesto, parsley pesto, sun dried tomato pesto......
In this recipe I haven't used any meat but you can add chicken , prosciutto, chorizo or whatever you have in the refrigerator.
Ingredients;
whole grain pasta (any type will do)
arugula pesto
arugula
pine nuts
cherry tomatoes
1 lemon
salt and pepper
I have not indicated any amounts in this recipe, just adjust to however many you are.
Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the box. When pasta is done (al dente) drain and toss with the arugula pesto, salt and pepper. Add pine nuts that have been toasted in a dry pan, arugula and cherry tomatoes. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
