Arugula pesto sauce

Recipe by
5 min.

A great and healthy quick pasta sauce: tasty, creamy and much cheaper than traditional pesto

Ingredients

  • Arugula 125 g
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Almonds 60 g
  • Parmesan 60 g
  • Pecorino (or Parmesan) 60 g
  • Garlic 1 clove

Directions

  1. Put the arugula in the cup of a mixer also add the almonds, parmesan and pecorino cheese; add the peeled whole garlic clove and salt.
  2. Add a small part of the olive oil at this point. Start blending everything at a low speed and, gradually, add the remaining olive oil flush, until you get a well-blended and fluid cream.
  3. If you do not use the arugula pesto immediately, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few days by placing it in a container with the cap, covered with a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. When seasoning the pasta, soften it by mixing it with a few tablespoons of cooking water.
