Ingredients
  

200g whole wheat pasta (spaghetti or penne)

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and roughly chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh arugula for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

    Make the Pesto: In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Pulse until coarsely blended.

      Add Olive Oil: With the food processor running, gradually add the olive oil until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency with the reserved pasta water if necessary.

        Combine Pasta and Pesto: In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the sun-dried tomato pesto until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Serve: Divide the pasta among plates, garnish with fresh arugula, and drizzle a little olive oil on top for extra richness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while the pasta is warm and all the flavors meld together beautifully.
