Arugula Pesto

Arugula Pesto

• 1/2 cup basil
• 2 cups arugula
• 1 large clove garlic
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese
• 2 Tbls pine nuts
• salt and pepper
• up to 1/2 cup reserved pasta water (if needed)

Mix everything in the food processor or blender. If it is too thick, add reserved pasta water. It should be thick, almost a paste. Toss with 1/2 pound al dente pasta. I would recommend linguine or other wide pasta.
