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
directions
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.
