Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups arugula (, packed (50 grams))
  • ½ cup walnuts (, chopped (55 grams))
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (, grated (50 grams))
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ⅓-½ cup olive oil ((80-120 ml))
  • 1 lb capellini or angel hair pasta ((455 grams))
  • 3-4 tablespoons pesto
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese ((120 grams))

Instruction

  • To make the pesto, combine the arugula, walnuts, parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture is your desired consistency. You can make it as thin or thick as you like.
  • To prepare the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the capellini or angel hair pasta and cool until al dente.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with a few tablespoons of the pesto. Add pasta water if necessary to moisten the pesto. Add the ricotta cheese and toss until incorporated.
  • Serve immediately. Garnish with arugula, if desired.
