Recommended by Rue Badanic, Sustainable Agriculture Student (see recommended recipes from other students)
Ingredients
- 4-6 handfuls (60-70g) arugala
- 50 g grated parmesan cheese (you can use ½ pecorino for a more complex flavour)

- 5-6 tablespoons olive oil
- 30 g toasted pine nuts (you can also use toasted almonds, pistachios, or pumpkin seeds)
- salt and pepper to taste
Steps
- Wash and dry the arugala. Blitz it in a food processor with a bit of the olive oil and the garlic.
- Add toasted nuts, cheese, salt and pepper. Briefly blitz once more.
- Stir in olive oil until it reaches desired texture.
- Serve with your favourite pasta, or as a topping for good fresh bread
