- Preheat oven to 375degrees – lay 1/2C shelled pistachios down & toast till fragrant/8minutes, set aside
- Boil salted water, once boiling add whole wheat pasta & cook till al dente
- When pasta is done, remove, drain & reserve 1/2C pasta water
- Grab food processor – blend baked pistachios & half a large shallot – remove and place in side bowl
- Without cleaning processor add one seeded meyer lemon & chop – add to pistachio mixture & blend in EVOO
- Toss pasta with pistachio mixture until coated, add reserved water, stir in handfuls of arugula & EVOO ( I love arugula so I added tons!)
Season with S/P, add a twist of lemon & sprinkle on some vegan parm cheese – This was a tasty meatless Monday, enjoy!
