Pesto With a Twist image

After picking my first fresh wild garlic, I had to find a way to use masses of wild garlic. This recipe is super quick and the color and taste will never make you want to use store-bought pesto again! Freezing it works nicely as well!

I was skeptical about the addition of arugula, but it really makes this pesto special. It adds a nice peppery flavor that balances out the richness of the basil and pine nuts.
