Contrary to popular belief, pesto isn’t always made with basil. It gets its name from an action rather than an ingredient—pestare, Italian for “to pound” (think mortar and pestle). This pesto blends parsley and pecans, for a robust partner to the white beans, bright lemon zest, and peppery arugula tossed with the rigatoni.

1
Cook the rigatoni

3
Cook the sauce
Add the beans and reserved pasta cooking water and season with pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the liquid is slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the rigatoni, arugula, pesto, and the lemon zest and juice, and cook, stirring, until the arugula wilts, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt.
Serve
Chef’s Tip Garlic can turn bitter if it’s cooked for more than 1 to 2 minutes over medium-high heat, so in step 3, be sure to have the white beans and pasta water at the ready before the garlic goes into the pan.
