Pasta and Pesto
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Pesto
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook the Gnocchetti Sardi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchetti sardi and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 2-3 minutes after they float to the surface.
Combine
Drain the gnocchetti, reserving a cup of pasta water. In a large bowl, mix the cooked gnocchetti with the walnut arugula pesto. If the mixture is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
