Arugula Pesto

 What to do with a whole bunch of arugula? Make Pesto


I for sure prefer basil pesto, but my better half does not. He did like this however. Popped it on some noodles and sprinkled parmesan over it.

  • 5 cups arugula
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼  cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Put the arugula, garlic and walnuts in a food processor. 

Process until fairly smooth. 

Slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream while running the food processor

Add the Parmesan  and process more.

 Stir in the salt and pepper. 

Pour over cooked pasta or bruschetta and enjoy!

I froze the left overs since we are out of town soon.
