Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 5-10 mins or until golden. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
Place half the walnuts in a food processor. Add the spinach, basil, garlic, parmesan and half the rocket. Process until finely chopped. Season. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream until well combined.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well. Return pasta to the pan.
Step 4
Add the walnut mixture to the pasta in the pan. Toss to combine. Add the remaining rocket and toss to combine. Divide the pasta mixture among serving bowls. Season. Sprinkle with the remaining walnuts to serve.
