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.
