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!

I'm not usually a fan of arugula, but it worked surprisingly well in this pesto. The bitterness was balanced out by the sweetness of the basil and pine nuts.
