Sometimes you see something come along on Instagram that you immediately think: I have to try that. This tagliatelle with rocket sauce, grilled vegetables and pistachios is one of those. Sas went into the kitchen and came out with a festive plate of pasta and in no time at all on a weekday. Just put the arugula in the blender with lemon, olive oil and capers, add pasta, grill vegetables, top with nuts - and you're done. You want to make this. We explain it step by step.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Arugula salsa verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A quick meal is nice, but preferably one with a bit more flair than a standard student snack. This tagliatelle with rocket sauce falls exactly into that category. A word about rocket: I am not necessarily a fan of it - I have almost choked on it too often - but its nutty flavour is great. And we will keep it in, but in a much softer form: as salsa verde<\/em>. This is originally a fresh, Italian green sauce with herbs such as parsley, capers, garlic, olive oil and sometimes some vinegar or anchovies. In this recipe, we make a rucola variant with capers and lemon. Vegetarian, in other words. No more choking danger, just plenty of that nutty flavour. Note: a little acid from the capers is nice, but it should not become an acid bomb. I made this recipe three times to find just the right proportions for a whole bag of arugula. A whole bag, yes really - you'll be amazed how little is left when you blend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun fact: rocket leaves are actually the young leaves of mustard greens. Hence the spicy bite<\/em>. You can very easily sow arugula yourself. Keep on picking as the plant just keeps on growing happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
