HOW TO MAKE SPICY ARUGULA PESTO
What makes this Pesto SO special, you might ask? Well, this pesto has double peppery-bite with promise of far less calories! Yes, my friends! This Pesto, not only TOPS the chart for being flavorful, it also comes with vegan and paleo promise! Not even a touch of cheese in here! Then what makes it taste delicious and so flavorful? Well, there are few magic ingredients in this pesto sauce which not only provide, taste, silky texture but mimic the taste of parmesan cheese. Big promise? I know! But you have try it once to believe me! Now, that magic ingredient, I mean ingredients(s) are: cashews, lemon juice, and jalapeno!!I know!!! This is not an authentic Pesto Recipe. I mean, in Italian world, pesto needs parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. But, in my world, frankly, parmesan is not required in this pesto sauce. And pine nuts! Gosh! Pine nuts are so costly! I often end-up with pistachios, even walnuts and cashews but pine nuts! Unless, I'm really in mood to splurge a little, of course ;)Even though not authentic, the peppery arugula with spicy jalapeno, creamy cashews, silky smooth extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice create a creamy, nutty, and aromatic Pasta Sauce!Trust me, this Pesto Sauce has everything to make Pasta Dinner crave-worthy!!I'm sure you will wonder, why do I eat Arugula Pesto and not Classic Basil Pesto?! No offense, I love me Basil Pesto and often make Basil Pesto Pasta for quick and easy dinner! However, I'm a huge salad lover! So, more than Basil, my refrigerator mostly has a box of arugula, with a few handfuls left unused. Also, just like Basil, arugula is a delicious and healthy dark-leafy green. It offers key nutrients like phytochemicals to combat cancer, antioxidants, and vitamins. SO, friends, it is good for you!! Eat more arugula!As I mentioned, this Pesto Sauce is vegan, gluten free, dairy free, paleo, and has less calories per serving. Just a moderate amount of oil and nuts used.Now, I think I have given you enough facts to try this twisted classic pesto with just few, easy to find, delicious ingredients! Friends, need I say more?! Go get some arugula and enjoy some healthy, Pesto Pasta for dinner, tonight!! -Savita

Steps:
- For the pesto: In a food processor, combine the walnuts, garlic, jalapeno, cheese, salt and pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add the spinach and arugula and process until blended. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Place the cooked pasta and pesto in a large serving bowl. Toss well and thin out the sauce with a little pasta water, if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with Asiago cheese shavings and serve.
- *Cook's Note: For a milder pesto, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper.
ARUGULA PESTO
Steps:
- To make the pesto, zest and juice the lemon, straining out the seeds, and add both to the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, arugula, Pecorino, almonds, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Pulse everything until it's finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil until everything is blended into a paste. Taste and add more salt, pepper, lemon juice or olive oil if needed. Transfer the pesto to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 10 days.

Steps:
- Make the pesto: Combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1 clove garlic and the lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over very low heat until the garlic is tender, 30 to 40 minutes (do not let the garlic burn). Strain the oil.
- Pulse the pine nuts, basil, arugula, parmesan, remaining 3 cloves garlic and the lemon juice in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the flavored garlic oil and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the pasta salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Toss with the pesto, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and reserved cooking water. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Sprinkle with parmesan.

Steps:
- Prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl, and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put the arugula in a large sieve and plunge it into the boiling water. Immediately immerse all the arugula and stir so that it blanches evenly. Blanch for about 15 seconds. Remove, shake off the excess water, then plunge the arugula into the ice water bath and stir again so it cools as fast as possible. Drain well.
- Squeeze the water out of the arugula with your hands until very dry. Roughly chop the arugula and put in a blender. Add the garlic, salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the pine nuts, and the vitamin C, if using. Blend for at least 30 seconds. In this way the green of the arugula will thoroughly color the oil. Add the cheese and pulse to combine. The pesto will keep several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Pull out before dinner to get to room temperature. Before serving, add the remaining 1 tablespoon toasted pinenuts.

Alexandra Guarnaschelli's serving suggestion: "Mix a spoonful into salad dressing or into the liquid from steamed mussels or clams-anywhere you want to have the freshness or herbs combined with a little heat."
