Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Notes

  • Want to make just parsley pesto? Great, simply replace the arugula with parsley.
  • What about arugula pesto? Eliminate the parsley and use double the amount of arugula. 
  • A food processor is best for crushing herbs. A small bullet blender will work but might take longer and be difficult.
  • Try not to overprocess the pesto in the food processor. This can cause the olive oil to turn bitter.
