Linguine with Artichokes & Pesto
FROM CHEF DALE MACKAY
Ingredients
600 | grams of dry linguine | |
2 | bunches of fresh basil, chopped and picked | |
¼ | cup of pine nuts, toasted | |
1 | lemon, zested | |
1 | jar of artichokes in oil, drained and chopped into two-inch pieces | |
¼ | cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, or other Parmesan cheese | |
½ | cup Co-op Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil | |
1 | cup arugula, rinsed and dried |
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on high heat. Add dried pasta and cook according to package instructions. Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. To the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, add the basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, and lemon zest. Blend until the basil starts to break down. With the blade still spinning, drizzle in the olive oil until a sauce-like pesto is formed. When linguine is tender, drain the noodles, reserving a ½ cup of the cooking water. Transfer noodles to a large bowl, toss with pesto, chopped artichokes, and arugula. Add some pasta water if sauce needs to be thinned.
