Arugula Pesto

Here’s a little known secret: pesto can be made with a plethora of different ingredients. As long as you have something green and leafy, a nut, a cheese, and a cooking oil you can mix and match the variety of each thing. This version replaces the traditional basil and pine nuts with arugula and walnuts. It’s a cheaper, more plentiful option, and it has a fresh, peppery flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups packed fresh arugula leaves, rinsed and dried

  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts

  • 4 medium garlic cloves

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
