What to do with half a container of arugula??? Make some delicious spring pesto!

This is amazing smeared on some garlic toast, dolloped into a soup, spread in homemade pizza, great on grilled fish and vegetables and of course on pasta, it's my go to for cold pasta salad.

It also freezes really well in a container or ice cube tray for single servings. —themisinthekitchen

Just made this. I didn't know how the 1/3 c. of cheese was to be prepared for adding to the food processor, so I grated it. Might want to edit this one thing. I added a bit of salt to it and squeezed about 1/4 tsp. of lemon juice in as well. Very tasty.
