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

VEGAN ARUGULA PESTO

- To a food processor or small blender, add the basil, nuts, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and sea salt and blend/mix on high until a loose paste forms.
- Add olive oil a little at a time (streaming in while the machine is on if possible) and scrape down sides as needed. Then add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) water at a time until the desired consistency is reached - a thick but pourable sauce. (If avoiding oil altogether, sub the oil with vegetable broth or just use all water.)
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor, salt for overall flavor, nuts for nuttiness, garlic for bite / zing, or lemon juice for acidity.
- Perfect for adding to sauces, dressings, breads, and more! My favorite recently has been adding it straight to zucchini or carrot noodles (see photo) for a beautiful, healthy side dish.

- Fill a large pot with at least 6 cups of salted water and place over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in pasta. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is cooked all the way through. Strain through a colander and set aside.
- While pasta is cooking, make the arugula pesto. Combine basil, arugula, macadamia nuts, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and garlic cloves in a food processor and pulse for a minute, scraping down the sides as needed. With the motor running, slowly add in the olive oil. Blend well. Salt to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, garlic, and pine nuts, stirring frequently until garlic is fragrant and pine nuts have begun to brown. Remove from heat and stir in pasta and pesto, until the pasta is evenly coated. Stir in fresh arugula and serve immediately.

- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (optional, for easy cleanup). Place the chopped broccoli on the baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil. Sprinkle on your spices and use your hands to toss to combine, making sure all of the broccoli is lightly coated in spices and oil. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. If you’re using Banza or another lentil/chickpea pasta, make sure to rinse in warm water when it’s done cooking and return to the empty pot.
- While the broccoli roasts and the pasta cooks, prepare the pesto. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix). Pulse on low speed until the ingredients come together. Make sure to scrape down the sides if you’re using a food processor. If you’re using a blender, keep the motor on low and use a tamper/scrape down the sides to make sure your pesto doesn’t become too smooth and pureed. You want the ingredients broken up into little bits, but not completely smooth. Taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon to taste. If you want it thinner, you can add more olive oil or switch to filtered water – I ended up adding about ¼ cup of water to get it to my desired consistency.
- Once everything is finished, add the broccoli and pesto to the pasta, along with a big handful of fresh arugula. Stir together over very low heat to warm everything up and help wilt the arugula. Once the arugula is wilted, you’re ready to serve.

- Combine all of the ingredients in a small food processor and process until everything is broken down. I prefer my pesto to have a bit of a chunky texture, but you can use a blender if you would like a smoother result.
- Once the pesto is smooth enough, taste it and adjust any seasonings as needed. When you use fresh ingredients, the taste will always vary by batch, so I usually end up adding an extra splash of lemon juice or an extra pinch of salt to make it taste "just right." Also, I think it should be noted that I love a spicy punch of garlic, so 3 cloves is usually perfect for me, but if you're not the biggest garlic fan, you might only want to start with 1 or 2 cloves and add more to taste. The nice thing about making a blended sauce like this one is you can always taste as you go and adjust as needed.
- Because these ingredients are all fresh, I'd recommend keeping this sauce stored in an airtight container in the fridge for no longer than a week for best flavor.

- In a high-speed blender or a food processor, blend the tofu, cashews, nutritional yeast, miso, and thyme until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/4" thick. Place each pastry on prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a 1" border on the puff pastry (this helps with a defined crust during baking.) Brush the border of each sheet with olive oil.
- Spread 2 tbsp of pesto on each sheet of pastry, leaving the pesto off the borders. Gently spread about 3/4 cup of the tofu-cashew mixture over the pesto. Place the asparagus over the tofu-cashew mixture, alternating tips to bases for a more balanced look. Sprinkle 3/4 tsp of the Everything Bagel spice over the borders of each tart. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until dark golden. For best and even baking results, bake the tarts separately, keeping one in the fridge until baking.
