Description

Where healthy meets delicious!

A flavorful Pasta dish made with a very flavorful Arugula- Smoked Almond pesto, topped with heirloom tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Bucatini Pasta ( or use linguini, spaghetti, etc)
  • ½ cup smoked salted almonds ( they usually com in can)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups basil leaves
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt ( see notes)
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon juice
  • Garnish with: mini heirloom tomatoes ( sliced in half), grated romano cheese ( optional) lemon zest
  • SEE NOTES!

Directions

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • Make the pesto.
  • In a food processor, place garlic, and almonds. Pulse 4-5 times.
  • Add basil, arugula and pulse a few more times.
  • Add oil, lemon, salt and pepper.
  • Process until combined, but not too smooth, a little grain is good.
  • Toss with drained pasta.
  • Garnish with: mini heirloom tomatoes ( sliced in half), grated romano cheese ( optional) and a little lemon zest, fresh arugula leaves.
  • NOTES: The pesto will taste salty and slightly bitter on its own. Dont worry. Once it mixes with the pasta, it will all balance out to perfection. The pasta will soak up some of the salt. 🙂
  • If you want this extra smokey, add small diced pieces of smoked cheese to the pesto ( like smoked cheddar or smoked gouda).
