Arugula Pesto

Arugula

This is great with pasta or spread on a sandwich to spice it up!

  • 2 cups arugula, washed and firmly packed
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 TBLS nuts of choice (pine nuts are traditional, but walnuts will work, too)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor except the cheeese.  Pulse until combined.  If you want to freeze it, do so now (and add the cheese after thawing).  If you want to eat it fresh, add the parmesan and pulse to combine.  Yum!
