In reply to Shirley. Sounds good, hope you enjoy! One of the great things with pesto is it's pretty easily adapted.

I still have some nasturtiums growing, and the leaves are nice and peppery, too, going to try this, with that!

In reply to vanessa Goodall. Glad to hear you enjoyed, and jealous of the homegrown rocket!

This was absolutely lovely. I used my own homegrown rocket. Thanks!

In reply to Emma. Yes you can, just place in whatever small container you'd use and then top with a thin layer of olive oil, cover and freeze.

Can you freeze this?

In reply to Wendy. So as long as you flatten it down in a jar/container and cover it with a layer of olive oil to save the surface being exposed, it should keep at least 3-5 days in the fridge.

In reply to Brian Jones. I agree, I love the flavor and can understand re using walnuts due to cost.

In reply to Susan. Thanks, it both has a great flavor and keeps the nice green better, I find. Enjoy!

I love using rocket in pesto, it has the most wonderful flavour although I must admit to swapping out the pine nuts for walnuts because pine nuts or soooooo expensive 😉 This looks superb!

I've made basil pesto, but never arugula pesto! I'll bet it has a nice bite to it! Saving this!

In reply to Suchitra. It's one of my favorites, Suchitra - it has a lovely slight pepperiness. Hope you manage to try!

I love pesto with almost anything but I have never tried Arugula pesto. Saving the recipe. Thanks for sharing
