It’s always fun to plat around with pesto!
I know. So good. I used it for numerous things…
Gosh, I never thought to use arugula for pesto but its a dang good idea, love the thought of that peppery flavor. Thanks for the insight! -Kat
You can use any green veggie for pesto if you want. I do love arugula though. I don’t eat massive amounts though. It’s like eating blue cheese. A little goes a long way.
