Directions

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti al dente.
  • In the meantime, wash and dry the arugula. Then put it in a tall bowl with the cashews, basil, olive oil and salt. Blend thoroughly with a hand blender until you get a nice creamy pesto.
  • Now add a little pasta water to the pesto and mix well.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Immediately add the pesto and mix everything thoroughly.
  • Last but not least, transfer to deep plates. Using the zester grater, grate some of the lemon zest over each serving. Garnish with a few leaves of arugula and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan to taste.
