I am passionately in love with Basil. Not only does it smell amazing, it grows SO abundantly in my backyard herb garden and I have been using it week in and week out for pesto.  The problem is… it’s the only herb that grows abundantly in my backyard.  ðŸ˜‰

Pesto is such a great addition to all kinds of dishes – spread it on chicken, top it on veggies and add it to pasta. You can even be bold and dip your chips in it Yum!

One of the best parts about any type of pesto is that you can easily just dump and push a button.  It’s relatively easy to make – the hardest part might just be getting the food processor out. The rest?  A total breeze.

Arugula Pesto

Arugula pesto is, though just a bit different than other types of pesto.  Compared to basil, arugula is a little more aromatic. It has some bite that basil doesn’t have.

It’s very simple to make with fresh arugula, a few garlic cloves, some toasted pine nuts (or almonds), and salt. Whizz in the food processor until combined. Then slowly trickle in the olive oil as the food processor is running to bring everything together into a delicious pesto. Add a smidge of lemon juice for added flavor and give it a try. Yum!

Mix this into pasta, or spread it on cooked salmon, baked cod, or dabble it on chicken – it is versatile and lasts quite a long time in the refrigerator when you store it tightly covered in an 8 oz canning jar.
