Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes and crush or mince the garlic. Pull the basil leaves off the stems and juice the lemon.
  • Boil the linguine for 10 - 12 minutes. Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Roast the cherry tomatoes
2
  • Transfer the cherry tomatoes to an oven dish and drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat and toast the cashews until lightly golden-brown, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, fry the spinach for 3 - 4 minutes or until wilted.
Make the spinach pesto
3
  • Transfer the spinach, garlic, basil and cashews to a tall container, along with half of the cheese.
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil, then (per person) 1 tbsp lemon juice and 0.5 tbsp pasta water. Use an immersion blender to process into a smooth pesto. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Stir as much of the spinach pesto as you'd like into the pasta and mix well to combine (see Tip).

Tip: the rest of the pesto can be used as a salad dressing or on a sandwich the next day.

Serve
4
  • Serve the arugula on plates and top with the linguine and the cherry tomatoes.
  • Drizzle with the cooking juices from the oven dish.
  • Garnish with the rest of the cheese.
