Ingredients
- 3/4 cup fresh basil
- 3/4 cup arugula
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds (for toasting)
- 5-8 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toast the almonds using your favorite method.
- Place all ingredients, except for the salt and olive oil, into a food processor.
- Turn on and pulse until smooth.
- Scrape the sides of the food processor if necessary. Then, with food processor switched to "on" (or consistently pulse), slowly pour in the olive oil. Slowly work the oil in, rather than pouring it in all at once.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, pulsing to combine. Makes about one cup of pesto.
