Drain the water, but keep 1 cup of the pasta water (we will need this later!)
Add all pesto ingredients to a blender or small food processor and blend until a smooth paste develops.
Mix pasta, pesto and the pasta water well until everything is well combined.
Toss the rocket salad with a little Balsamic Vinegar and oil and use them as a topping for your pasta dish.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
