Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Blend arugula, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese in a food processor until almost smooth. With machine running, drizzle in the olive oil and process until well blended.
  2. Season pesto to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made ahead. Cover and let stand up to 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate for a day. Bring at room temperature before using.)
  3. Makes about 1 cup.
  4. Here's a chef's tip: After making the pesto in the food processor, toss a few chunks of bread into the empty bowl and pulse. The bread absorbs the oil and herb residue from the bowl, which makes cleanup easier. And, the oil gives a wonderful flavor to the crumbs, which you can use as a crumb topping or breading in another recipe.
