Ingredients
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/2 pound baby arugula
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 1/2 lemons, juiced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt
- Pinch pepper
Directions
Put the garlic, anchovies, and capers in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the arugula, cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil, and pulse until the mixture is completely combined and is the consistency of a classic pesto. Add salt and pepper, to taste. To serve, spread on bread or crackers, or toss with pasta. Transfer any remaining pesto to a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month.

I wish I could say I made this recipe as written, but I could not find arugula anywhere. It was delicious anyway. I did not know you could make pesto without nuts. ETA: I used basil instead of argula.
