Arugula Pesto Arugula Pesto
I love arugula, and my dad grows it just for me! It makes me proud to have this special treat all to myself. From the first moment I smelled those carefully picked bunches, I forgot all about the arugula I used to buy at the store! Maybe it's the freshness, maybe it's the unique soil, or maybe it's the extra love that goes into it, but my dad's garden arugula just tastes so much better! Before making pesto with it, I hesitated because I thought it might turn out bitter. But when I finally tried it, I realized I was wrong! It's delicate, fresh, and everyone loves it. Most of all, it's super versatile! ElodiaTranslated from Cookpad Italy -

Anyone who knows me knows how much I care about using fresh, seasonal, and untreated products. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to organic produce, mainly because, sadly, we don’t all have a lovely garden at home, and when we buy products, we can’t always be sure of their quality.Luckily, online farmers’ markets are becoming more common, offering organic products delivered to your door just hours after harvest. For those who love cooking like I do, there’s nothing better than creating dishes with top-quality ingredients.The crunchy texture and freshness of this appetizer will whet your appetite!Simple and quick to make, using rustic bread really brings out the homemade feel of this dish.

Red Radicchio Pesto Red Radicchio Pesto
Red radicchio and walnut pesto is a very simple and quick sauce to make, perfect for those who love pesto and want a twist on the classic version with pine nuts and fresh basil. The preparation is very similar, but the flavor is completely different. Radicchio has a slightly bitter aftertaste that not everyone enjoys, so it's important to soak it for at least an hour before blending. This step makes the radicchio sauce less bitter and gives it a more delicate flavor. Eleonora LombiniTranslated from Cookpad Italy
