Arugula Pesto

Ok so it's been quite some time since I last blogged about recipes that I've been making. Well, it's partially due to most of the recipes I make have more than 5 ingredients which to those who read my blogging don't like to cook anything new with more than 5 ingredients. With that said, I have a new recipe that has 5 ingredients! Yes, you guessed right...it's ARUGULA PESTO! It's really quite fantastic - Kevin and I have had it several times. Quick & easy too!

You'll need:

1/2 cup sunflower seeds
4 cups of arugula
6 tbs olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
2 cloves garlic

Start out by toasting the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet for about 3 minutes or until they're lightly browned. Transfer them to your food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt & pepper. Serve over spaghetti or whatever choice of pasta you like best.

YUMMY!!

So I do have other recipes but they call for more than 5 ingredients. All the recipes come from my Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook. If you're interested in the recipes, just ask me for them: Shepherd's Pie, Beanballs, Cucumber & Watercress Sandwich, Super C-Smoothie, Kale & Rice Casserole, Sweet Potato Spelt Biscuits...there are more but these are some of my favorites!

Happy cooking to all !!
