Here is how you make Arugula Walnut Pesto:

Clean arugula. I take the stems off, but have also read that it's not necessary, so it's up to you. If you don't like a strong garlic taste you may roast the unpeeled cloves by placing them in a hot, dry skillet and cooking them until they have a few brown spots on them; let them cool a bit, then peel. In same pan, lightly toast the walnuts.Combine arugula, walnuts and garlic in food processor; drizzle oil in slowly while processing. Remove mix and add parmesan. Can be served over pasta, with crackers, as a spread for sandwiches or pizza. Enjoy...in moderation!Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BUSYWIFEANDMOM.
