Warm sunny days are perfect for pasta mixed with ingredients straight out of the garden! Whip up this easy meal which is just as good cold on a picnic.
• 1 lb. rotini pasta
• 1 bunch arugula
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp. pine nuts
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Boil the pasta until al dente. Set aside.
