Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, add walnuts and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become fragrant and golden brown.
- Zest two lemons and then juice them into a small bowl, making sure to catch any seeds. Halve the cherry tomatoes and tear the basil leaves.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, zest, white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, capers, honey, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking.
- Add the cooled pasta to the dressing and toss well. Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, toasted walnuts, halved cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves.
- Finally, gently fold in the fresh arugula and let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
