4ozPkg Fresh Basil -Remove Stems(2.7oz once stems are removed)
1Cup Shredded Parmesan CheeseApprox. 3oz
1/2CupPecans2oz
2TablespoonsLemon
3WholeCloves Garlic
1 1/3Cup olive oil
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a blender place the arugula, basil, olive oil, garlic, lemon, and salt. Process until smooth and not stringy.
Next add in the parmesan and pecans. Pulse until you achieve the desired consistancy. I like to have larger chunks of pecans in my pesto. If you prefer the consistancy be smoother, allow the mixture to blend longer. However, Don't over-blend, causing the cheese to melt from the heat of the blades.
