this sounds fabulous! I love arugula in pesto, it just adds another dimension and flavour! This would be so lovely drizzled over pasta or a good steak!

I love pesto!  The funny thing is I've never made it with arugula before.  I love arugula and can imagine the peppery taste you would get!  How brilliant.  I can't wait to try your recipe!  It looks scrumptious!

I love pesto too and this one is yum. Have to surely check on your recipe.

I love that you added walnuts to this recipe! Great idea! Thank you for sharing!

I'm always looking for delicious ways to use pesto that I make from my garden and this one looks like a winner!

I can't wait to make this! I love all things with pesto and the addition of walnuts I am betting really adds to the flavor.

Pesto has always been a favorite and this one looks easy and just right !!

I love a good pesto recipe! I really appreciate all the ways you described to switch up the flavors in a typical pesto recipe. Making pasta for dinner this weekend and can't wait to try this recipe!

Pesto is a staple at our house. We use it for just about everything. Interestingly enough, we haven't used arugula in it. We love arugula, too. I'll have to buy several bags of it to go along with the basil I'll pick from the garden. Thank you for the inspiration.

I LOVE finding different types of pesto recipes!!! Mixing pestos up is the best! I bet the arugula and walnuts make an amazing flavor! I can't wait to make this! I use pesto on sandwiches too instead of mayo!

Pesto is quick and easy, perfect for any summer pasta meal. I love the spice that the arugula gives this pesto.

Walnuts are my favorite nut choice for pesto so I think this is an absolutely delicious recipe! The arugula gives the perfect amount of pepperiness and the basil is so aromatic!
