Description

Pea shoots and arugula make a great winter pesto for your favorite pasta dishes.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cups Pine Nuts
  • ¼ cups Fresh, Young Pea Shoots
  • ¼ pounds Arugula
  • ⅓ cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Smashed And Roughly Chopped
  • ⅓ cups Olive Oil
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Toast the pine nuts in a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove over medium heat until they’re golden brown. Be careful, they can burn easily!

Combine pea shoots, arugula, Parmesan, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until well combined and finely chopped. Drizzle in the olive oil while processor is running and continue processing until a thick paste forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pulse a few more times to fully incorporate.

Toss with hot pasta or use as a condiment on grilled burgers or pizza.
