Peppery Arugula Almond Pesto
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the arugula and cook until it turns bright green, about 30 seconds. Transfer the arugula to a bowl of ice water for several minutes until cold. Drain and wring out the arugula.

  2. 2

    Pulse the arugula, olive oil, almonds, and garlic in a blender, scraping down the sides, until it just forms a coarse puree. Transfer the puree to a bowl and season with salt.
