I’m not quite ready to say I’m now a fan of arugula, but I think I’m slowly acquiring a taste for it.
I know I like it in pesto form. There’s only so much pasta tossed with pesto in a week though, so I’ve been dreaming up new ways to use up the tub I made earlier this week.
Last night I made arugula pesto pizzas for me and Sim. The crispier the crust the better with these. Of course, it’s hard not to like anything topped with prosciutto. Before baking, I sprinkled the individual crusts with mozzarella and feta.
Then this morning, I tried about a teaspoon of the pesto in an omelet, which also included feta crumbles and crispy prosciutto. [I should mention that in addition to my veggie share, I’ve been trying to use up a large container of feta and a package of prosciutto that was getting close to its expiration date. Thanks Costco.]
I’ve probably reached my limits with the arugula pesto. There’s enough left worth freezing for omelets or pasta on another day. So in the freezer bag it goes.
