This Arugula Pesto is made with simple fresh ingredients and is way better than any store bought pesto! It’s great on pasta, bread, or even pizza!

If you’ve been following the blog awhile then you know how much I love making homemade pesto. Like this Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, Basil Pesto, or this Vegan Kale Pesto.

Making your own pesto at home is so easy too.

For this Arugula Pesto all you need is Arugula, Italian Parsley, Parmigiano Reggiano, Cashews, Capers, Garlic, EVOO, Salt, and Pepper.

Now I know a typical pesto usually has Pine Nuts. But in reality you can use just about whatever nut you have on hand, like walnuts, almonds, or cashews as I did in this recipe.

Ingredients for Arugula Pesto

Then just add everything to a food processor and blend!

I hope you guys love this Arugula Pesto as much as I did! It’s:

  • Easy to make
  • Fresh
  • Savory
  • Versatile
  • and oh so Delicious!

    I love the flavor of arugula and have never thought about it as pesto! Great idea! I’d be so honored if you’d share this at our What’s for Dinner party!
