Pest-ohhhh yeah!

sometimes, i forget how much i luuurve pesto...
and then i remember!
and then i forget how easy it is to make...
and then i remember!

and then i make it using arugula and parsley, since basil isn't in season yet, and serve it over penne with roasted tomatoes and chickpeas.

and then i congratulate myself on a meal well prepared.

and sometimes i make eggs for breakfast the next day, and have some leftover pesto on top of them.
and sometimes i take a spoon and just eat it out of the jar.  gross?  probably.  delicious?  yes.


in a food processor, throw in a few handfuls of arugula and a few handfuls of parsley.  add a roughly chopped clove of garlic, plenty of grated parmesan cheese, a handful of walnuts (or pine nuts, if you can afford them!) and the juice of a lemon.  turn on the food processor and add olive oil until it reaches the consistency you like.  salt and pepper, too.  serve with ANYTHING.

(ps- i get all my ingredients from the local co-op.  you should too!)
