Description

This creamy pasta dish with rocket pesto is a real treat! I love how quick and easy it is to prepare – perfect for a quick lunch or an uncomplicated dinner. The fresh, slightly peppery taste of the rocket harmonizes wonderfully with the Parmesan and pine nuts. A dash of cooking water makes the pesto particularly creamy. If you like, you can sprinkle some more cheese on top. An absolute favorite recipe that is always well received!
