Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch watercress, tough stems removed (about 5 1/2 cups), divided

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, or to taste
10 ounces farro spaghetti or whole-wheat spaghetti

Steps:

  • Pulse 5 cups watercress, pine nuts, lemon zest, and garlic in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add oil and pulse to combine. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain pasta. Return pasta to pot and stir in pesto.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 8

200g linguine or spaghetti
85g bag watercress
1 garlic clove , roughly chopped
25g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), half grated, half shaved
50g toasted flaked almond
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp sugar

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the watercress and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and blend for a few secs until finely chopped. Add the grated cheese, half the almonds, the olive oil, lemon juice and sugar. Season well, then blend until you have a smooth purée consistency.
