Procedure
0. Wash and dry the arugula thoroughly. In a blender or food processor, combine the arugula, pine nuts, peeled garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend everything together while slowly drizzling in the olive oil, until you obtain a smooth, creamy sauce.
1. If necessary, adjust the salt and add more oil to achieve the desired consistency.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
3. Return the drained pasta to the pot. Add the arugula pesto and stir well to combine. If the pesto is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking water to make it creamier.
4. Serve the pasta immediately, with an additional sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
