1 pound whole-wheat rotini or penne pasta

2 ½ cups packed baby arugula

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¾ cup unsalted sunflower seeds

5 cloves garlic

Zest & juice of 1 medium lemon, divided

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup slivered sun-dried tomatoes

⅓ cup finely chopped red onion

Ground pepper to taste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile, combine arugula, Parmesan, sunflower seeds, garlic, lemon zest and salt in a food processor; process until smooth. With the motor running, add lemon juice and oil; process until combined.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
