How to Make Arugula Pesto
- Combine 2 cups packed arugula, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 2 cloves garlic, and a pinch of salt in a food processor.
- Pulse until finely chopped, then with the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until a smooth paste forms.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking.
- Transfer the pesto to an airtight container. Pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top of the pesto to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best flavor, warm gently before serving.
