Arugula Pesto

Giada's Arugula Pesto recipe is a great change from your typical basil pesto. This is the perfect sauce to use on pizza, pasta or chicken. You can also add 1/4 cup of light mayonnaise to this recipe and make this a pesto mayo for your sandwich! (See Chicken and Arugula Pesto post)

 

You Will Need:

• 2 cups packed arugula
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
