About Pesto arugula

Pesto arugula is a flavorful blend of fresh arugula, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and nuts, often walnuts or pine nuts, combined into a vibrant green sauce. Originating from Italian cuisine, this variation of traditional basil pesto offers a peppery twist, thanks to arugula's naturally bold flavor. It's commonly used as a topping for pasta, pizza, sandwiches, or as a dip. Nutritionally, pesto arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K from the arugula, heart-healthy fats from the olive oil and nuts, and a dose of protein and calcium from the cheese. However, it can be high in calories and sodium, so portion control is key. This versatile condiment delivers a nutritious punch while adding a zesty, aromatic dimension to your favorite dishes.
