Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups arugula, young , rinsed clean, and chopped up roughly
4 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
3 oz walnuts
2 oz parmesan cheese, coarsely grated or
2 oz pecorino cheese, coarsely chopped
6 tbsp olive oil , preferably extra-virgin
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt (pref. flaky sea )
1/2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground

Directions:

To measure, push the roughly chopped arugula into your measuring cup - not too hard, but don't measure loosely.
Put this in your processor.
Add the rest of the ingredients, and whizz.
I prefer a pesto which is not too smooth, but slightly granular still.
NOTES: If you're using ready-washed arugula and parsley which are dry, you might want to add a tiny bit more oil. Mine usually has water on the leaves, which adds to the liquid available.
You can toast the walnuts lightly. I prefer walnuts because they contain more oil than other nuts.
The arugula should definitely be young - the moment they start going to seed the leaves become very bitter.
The pesto should stand, covered, in the fridge for a few hours or more, as the flavours then meld better. Delicious forked into hot al dente spaghetti, with extra, fresh parmesan shavings on top. Can be dropped into a mixed greens salad by teaspoonsful.
I eat this on hot toast as well. (Ah well, takes all kinds to make a world - !).
