Step 1/3
- 50 g pine nuts
- 500 g penne
- salt
Toast pine nuts in a frying pan and set aside. Cook penne according to package instructions and set aside to cool down for approx. 1 hr.
Step 2/3
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 100 g arugula
- 125 g mozzarella cheese
Halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes. To prepare the arugula, cut off and discard any long stems. Finely dice the mozzarella cheese.
