Recipe Summary Chef John's Almond Arugula Pesto

Arugula is also quite a beautiful herb. Fragrant, spicy, crisp; it makes a great pesto. I paired it with raw almonds for a combo that was just amazing on a grilled hanger steak. Subtle it's not, but that's okay sometimes.

Ingredients | Pasta Sauce Recipes Easy

½ cup arugula leaves, or more to taste

⅓ cup olive oil

⅓ cup raw almonds

4 cloves garlic

salt to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add arugula and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove arugula to a bowl full of ice water for several minutes until cold. Drain and wring out arugula.

Pulse arugula, olive oil, almonds, and garlic together in a blender, scraping down the sides, until mixture just becomes a coarse puree. Pour puree into a bowl and season with salt.
