idea of arugula pesto came up during chit-chatting. I decided to give
it a try. My hubby has been using arugula in his sandwiches but I have
not tried any. I have also been thinking about a tossed pasta of some
kind. Shell pasta with bacon and arugula pesto sounds good for dinner.
I used a recipe of basic, traditional pesto, replacing basil with arugula.
Classic Genovese Pesto (from Better Homes and Gardens cook book)
Ingredients
1/3 c olive oil
2 c packed basil (arugula)
1/2 c pine nuts
1/2 c grated Parmesan
3-4 cloves of garlic
Combine all ingredients in a food processor/blender. Cover and
process/blend until nearly smooth, stopping and scraping sides as
necessary and adding enough of 2 tablespoons additional olive oil to
reach desired consistency. Add black pepper to taste.
