Tips:

- Toast the walnuts lightly in a pan for a few minutes before using them in the pesto to enhance their flavor.

- For a smoother pesto, blend the ingredients for a longer period of time or add a bit more olive oil gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.

- If the pesto is too thick, add a splash of the pasta cooking water to thin it out while blending.

- Use fresh, high-quality basil and arugula for the best flavor.

- You can substitute the edamame fettuccine with any pasta of your choice, but edamame pasta adds a nice protein boost and unique texture.

- This dish can be served warm or cold. If serving cold, allow the pasta to cool to room temperature before mixing with the pesto.
