Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small garlic cloves
3 ounces walnut pieces (about 3/4 cup), toasted and cooled
4 ounces arugula, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about 1/3 cup)
1 pound spinach linguine
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse garlic until very finely chopped. Add walnut pieces and arugula; process until a coarse paste forms, about 5 seconds. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in the salt and Parmesan cheese, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add linguine, and cook until al dente according to package instructions, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, and immediately add to bowl with walnut-arugula mixture. Drizzle with the oil, and season with pepper. Toss thoroughly until coated evenly. Serve immediately.
