Ingredients

2 cups arugula, well washed and dried

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 tablespoons walnuts or pine nuts, lightly toasted in a dry skillet

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

3/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Remove any tough stems from the arugula. Place it in a food processor or blender with the garlic, nuts, salt, and about 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and pulse a few times. With the motor running, add additional olive oil to make a creamy sauce, stopping the machine occasionally to scrape down the sides if necessary.
