Products used in this recipe
Steps of preparation
- Wash and dry the arugula.
- In a blender, combine the arugula, the moderate oil, the pine nuts, the cheese and the garlic.
- Mix well, until creamy, thick and fairly smooth.
- Add the lemon oil with a pinch of salt, then blend with a spoon until the oil and the pesto are thoroughly combined.
- Serve with well-drained al dente pasta: add the arugula pesto directly to the pot with the drained pasta, without warming it.
- This pesto will keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
(If you must freeze the pesto, omit the cheese; add it only after the pesto has thawed out and is ready for use.)
