Pasta with Arugula Pesto

Arugula is in season and it’s good for more than just salads! Turn this sharp, slightly bitter green into a delicious pesto in the time it takes pasta to cook!

This makes an incredible lunch (and great pasta salad leftovers!) that takes only 20 minutes.

The quantities are estimated. Cook from the heart and taste often to make it nice!
