Pesto with Arugula

It's time to harvest all of our fresh basil--which means it's also time to make fresh pesto. I added arugula to the pesto to give it a slight variation of flavor, and substituted walnuts for pine nuts since that's what we had.

Ingredients:
2 c fresh basil
1 c arugula
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c olive oil
1/4 c pine nuts
pinch salt & a sprinkle of pepper

Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Turn on the machine & slowly pour the olive oil in the top. Scrape the sides if needed and continue combining until evenly blended. Serve over pasta, pizza, anything you like! Makes about 1 cup. Can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
