ARUGULA PESTO WITH PASTA



Arugula Pesto with Pasta image

Any variety of arugula will work, as will any other peppery green for that matter; dandelion greens or cress are great substitutes. And of course basil or parsley work, too. As for the pasta, if you don't feel like making your own, any store-bought will do. I'd choose orecchiette, fusilli or gemelli.

Categories     Condiment     Pasta

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 garlic cloves, (chopped)
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, (chopped)
Salt, (to taste)
2 tablespoons grated cheese ((I like pecorino))
About 2 cups chopped arugula
1 tablespoon lemon juice, (or to taste)
Olive oil ((use the good stuff))

Steps:

  • Put the garlic and pine nuts, plus a pinch of salt, into the mortar and pound it until the bits no longer jump out of the mortar. Add some of the cheese and some of the arugula a little at a time and keep pounding and mixing with the pestle. Keep doing this until you have a pretty good paste. Grind in the lemon juice, then drizzle in a little olive oil and keep grinding and pounding. Keep doing this, little by little, until the pesto is the consistency you want: You'll need between 1/4 and 1 cup, depending on how loose you want the sauce.

Categories     Pastas, Risottos, and Grains

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sourdough breadcrumbs
1 garlic clove (very finely minced )
kosher salt (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste )
3-4 large garlic cloves
5 ounces baby arugula
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (plus more for garnishing)
1 tsp lemon juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
⅓ cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (plus more for serving )
kosher salt (to taste )
freshly ground black pepper (to taste )
12 ounces dried pasta (*I recommend bronze-cut rigatoni, fusilli, trofie, farfalle, or spaghetti)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Prepare the Garlicky Breadcrumbs: Heat the olive oil in a medium 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 or so. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare Arugula Pesto: 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 pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve one 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 a couple splashes of pasta cooking water as necessary.
  • Serve the arugual pesto pasta with a sprinkling of garlicky breadcrumbs. Top with additional toasted pine nuts (as desired) and grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

ARUGULA PESTO



Arugula Pesto image

To most people, pesto means one thing: pesto Genovese, the famous and fabulous basil paste from the Italian Riviera. But there are sauces made with copious amounts of other herbs or greens not destined for pasta. They aren't called pestos, yet that's what they are - all made by grinding herbs and other ingredients to a paste, then thinning out and enriching with oil. This dish is inspired by one found in southern Italy. This sauce, like other forms of pesto, is all pungent with garlic. In addition to serving this vibrant pesto with pasta, it can be used with grains - risottos made with rice, barley, or wheat - and as a topping for tomatoes. It's great on its own, spooned onto a thick slice of country bread. Don't use a sharp olive oil with this, or it will overwhelm the arugula.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 garlic cloves, cut in half, green shoots removed
2 heaped tablespoons shelled walnuts
4 ounces arugula, stemmed, washed and dried 2 cups leaves, tightly packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1/3 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic cloves. When they are chopped and adhering to the sides, stop the machine, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the walnuts. Turn on the machine, and process until they are finely ground. Scrape down the bowl again, and add the arugula and the salt. Pulse until the arugula is finely chopped, then turn on the machine and run while you slowly drizzle in the olive oil. When the mixture is smooth, stop the machine, scrape down the sides and process for another 30 seconds or so. Scrape out into the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind the mixture with the pestle for a smoother texture. Work in the cheese and combine well.
