I love arugula on a sandwich and a salad. I also love pesto. I just recently got some arugula at a good price so I decided to make a pesto. It's great on a warm pasta with a delicious peppery taste.

How To Make roasted garlic arugula pesto

Step 1

Place garlic cloves in one teaspoon of olive oil and roast on medium until brown.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to food processor including roasted garlic and its oil. Blend until smooth. You may need more oil if necessary.
Step 3

Taste for salt and pepper and adjust. Serve over warm crostini as an appetizer or drizzled over steamed artichokes as a side dish. Tonight I am adding it to an artichoke and mushroom pasta dish.
