Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Cook the pasta according to the package instructions; two minutes before it is done, add the green beans, previously cut in half. While the pasta cooks, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet until golden.

   Drain the water, reserving about a cup (250 ml) of cooking water. Return the pasta and beans to the skillet, add the pesto, crème fraîche, cooked shrimp, lemon zest and juice, and the toasted pine nuts. Mix well and season to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved water. Before serving, sprinkle with arugula. Serve immediately hot or let cool, refrigerate and serve as a pasta salad.
