Pesto with Arugula Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (Pesto with Arugula Recipe). This pesto is unique due to the arugula, which gives it a peppery bite. I also like the lack of cheese, but add it if you must. Use as a spread or on pasta. My favorite is on baguette slices or on whole wheat crackers. It's addictive!
