The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup pistachio nuts, lightly toasted
1 small bunch fresh arugula or baby spinach, washed and dried and picked of stems
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Place the garlic and pistachio nuts in a food processor and blend for 20 seconds. Add arugula or spinach, salt and pepper. With food processor running slowly, add olive oil in a steady stream through the opening, and process until pureed. Add pecorino cheese and pulse or stir until just blended and a creamy sauce is formed. Check for seasoning.
Serve with freshly cooked pasta or with grilled meat.
Keeps in an airtight container covered with a thin layer of olive oil for up to one week in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to one month.
