Ingredients
- Arugula - 1 bunch
- Walnuts - 2.3 oz
- Olive Oil - 4 spoons
- Spaghetti - 17.6 oz
- Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 5.3 oz
- Fresh basil leaves - to taste
Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a blender, pour in the olive oil and gradually add the arugula, grated or chopped pecorino cheese, and halved walnuts, along with more oil if needed. Blend on low speed to keep the ingredients recognizable in the pesto. Once the mixture is uniform and thick like sour cream, the pesto is ready.
Step 2
Cook the spaghetti in lightly salted water until al dente.
Step 3
Drain the water completely and mix the pasta with the freshly prepared pesto in the pot.
Step 4
Plate the mixture and garnish with a sprig of fresh basil.
Step 5
Serve with freshly grated pecorino.
