Pasta with Arugula Pesto
Matmakesmeals @matmakesmeals
Arugula is in season and it’s good for more than just salads! Turn this sharp, slightly bitter green into a delicious pesto in the time it takes pasta to cook!
This makes an incredible lunch (and great pasta salad leftovers!) that takes only 20 minutes.

Homemade Pasta & Basil Pesto
This is basically only made with flour, but has a lot of eggs for a chewy texture! Children also have fun making these noodles. It takes some work, but it's definitely worth it! You can also mix these noodles with a shrimp wine sauce, grilled chicken, etc.Knead well until the dough becomes elastic. The amount of flour used when rolling out the dough is really important. If you leave the dough overnight, take it out of the refrigerator early so that it can return to room temperature before rolling it out. Recipe by Jay to Gon
