Ingredients

  • 500 g dmBio spaghetti

  • 100 ml dmBio extra virgin olive oil

  • 30 ml dmBio white balsamic vinegar

  • 100 g arugula

  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup

  • Pesto with basil and cashew nuts

  • Grated Zdenka truffle cheese

In a large pot, boil plenty of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Then drain, briefly rinse with cold water, and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

• While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto by blending fresh basil, olive oil, and cashew nuts. You can also use store-bought pesto if desired.

• Prepare the remaining ingredients:
   • Drain and halve the olives.
   • Remove the sun-dried tomatoes from the oil and cut them into thin strips.
   • Place everything in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, add 1–2 tablespoons of pesto, and mix well.
   • Add arugula and the cooked spaghetti, then gently toss everything together.

• Whisk the remaining pesto with agave syrup, olive oil, and a little balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and mix well again. Sprinkle the salad with grated Zdenka truffle cheese for a rich and aromatic flavor.
