Pesto with Arugula image

This pesto is unique due to the arugula, which gives it a peppery bite. I also like the lack of cheese, but add it if you must. Use as a spread or on pasta. My favorite is on baguette slices or on whole wheat crackers. It's addictive!

This pesto is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it a few days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. It's also a great way to use up leftover pesto. You can freeze it for up to 3 months.

This pesto was a hit at my last dinner party! I served it with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables, and it was the perfect complement to the meal. The arugula gave it a nice peppery flavor, and the walnuts added a rich, nutty texture.
