no waste
arugula
pesto
Have you ever wondered what you can do with a box of greens that are past their prime? This no-waste pesto answers that question. While this recipe calls for arugula, feel free to replace it with any other green you may have forgotten in the back of your fridge.
Ingredients
Wilted Arugula
Parmesan Cheese
Black Pepper
Salt
Olive Oil
Blanch the arugula in heavily salted water until completely wilted and transfer to an ice bath.
Squeeze out as much water as possible from the arugula and transfer to a blender with a handful of parmesan cheese, a few cracks of black pepper, a large pinch of salt, and enough olive oil to almost cover.
Blend on high for 3 minutes until completely smooth and adjust the seasoning.
Transfer to a bowl placed over an ice bath (if hot) or place in a container that is freezer proof. Cover with olive oil and freeze until needed.
