In the chopper, place the washed and dried arugula and the pesto and blend everything. Season the already cleaned shrimp with oil and salt, cover them, and keep in the refrigerator. Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Finely chop the leek. Let it stew in a pan with oil until wilted, then add the mushrooms and let them cook on high heat. When the mushrooms are ready, add the shrimp and let them cook for a couple of minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. Boil the pasta in plenty of salted boiling water, drain it and pour it into the casserole with the seasoning, letting it flavor by adding a bit of cooking water if needed. Add the arugula and basil pesto, a few arugula leaves, mix well, and serve immediately.
