Bowtie pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh arugula and goat cheese. It’s good warm or cold!

Adapted from America's Test Kitchen 30 Minute Suppers.

Ingredients

1 pound Farfelle (bowtie) pasta

1 Cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/4 Cup pine nuts, toasted

2 Teaspoons balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

1 clove garlic

1/2 Cup olive oil

6-8 ounces fresh arugula

4 ounces goat cheese

Salt and pepper

Instructions

1) Cook pasta according to package and drain pasta and reserve 1 Cup of cooking water.

2) Process sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor, blender, or chop finely. For more flavor, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet until fragrant over medium heat, about 5 minutes.

3) Drizzle oil into the tomato mixture. Then stir in vinegar.

4) Toss pasta in tomato pesto mixture. If it seems dry, add 1/2 Cup of the reserved pasta cooking water. Taste for salt and pepper.

5) Stir in goat cheese and arugula or serve pasta on a bed of arugula with goat cheese crumbled on top.
