Preparation

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta.
Halfway through cooking, add the green beans. Once pasta is al dente, reserve about ¼–½ cup of the cooking water. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent overcooking.

In a small food processor, blend pine nuts, walnuts, garlic, salt, and nutritional yeast until a coarse meal forms. Add basil, lemon juice, and water. Pulse until creamy. Add more water for thinner consistency if desired.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk ¼ cup reserved pasta water into the pesto to create a sauce. Add the cooked pasta, green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and arugula. Toss until everything is well coated. Garnish with extra basil or a few toasted pine nuts (optional). Enjoy warm or as a refreshing cold pasta salad.
