THIS MONTH'S RECIPE
Spring Vegan Pesto Pasta
Who doesn’t love pesto pasta? This green on green dish comes together in a flash and is sure to please on busy spring weeknights. Try changing it up by experimenting with different combinations of herbs & greens in the pesto!

Ingredients:
  • 6 oz. spaghetti (reserve 1/2 c. starchy pasta water)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 c. basil pesto or vegan pesto
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Fresh lemon juice, as desired
  • 4 c. arugula
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts
  • Pinches of red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly grated Parmesan or vegan Parmesan
Directions:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions or until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking liquid before draining. Drain the pasta and toss with a tiny bit of olive oil.
  • In a large skillet over very low heat, add the pesto, 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and stir to combine. Add the pasta and toss to coat, and more pasta water as needed to create a loose sauce. The amount of water needed will depend on thickness of your pesto.
  • Turn the heat off. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, to taste. Then, add the arugula and toss to barely wilt. Garnish with the red pepper flakes and pine nuts and serve.
