Preparation

Cook pasta according to package instructions. For cold pasta, I always cook just a minute under recommended time. Drain and set aside.

Add pesto ingredients to a blender cup and work it for about 2 minutes. Add pasta, arugula, sun dried tomato, grape tomatoes and pesto to a large glass bowl and mix to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.
