How to Make Arugula Pesto

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts are more affordable and provide a similar texture.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and lower in calories.

Make the pasta sauce while the pasta of your choice is cooking.

Combine arugula, basil, garlic, lemon juice, cashews, and olive oil in your food processor.

Run the food processor, stopping every few minutes to scrape down the sides.

When the pesto reaches your desired consistency, you're ready to toss it with pasta and veggies.
