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.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
