I love pasta, but I also love to try new sauces and flavors, so when I discovered this arugula and walnuts pesto, I had to cook it as soon as possible. This sauce is amazing, but the most amazing is that we can prepare a pasta dish in only 10 minutes!! Only the time to cook the pasta, because the sauce is ready in 2 minutes more or less.
The combination of flavors is surprising because the arugula harmonize perfectly with pasta; nuts added the magic touch that makes it perfect. Furthermore, we combine hot pasta with a cold sauce, which makes this recipe in the better dish for this spring/summer.
