Yum!

Way back when in this little town where I live there were zero pine nuts to be found. But we had lots of basil in the back yard (I lived in an old house broken up into 4 apartments and we all knew each other and partied and ate and socialized together. It was great!) We also had arugula taking over the yard. It tastes sorta nutty, so we used to add it to the pesto. Even if you have pine nuts...or are allergic to nuts or something.... adding arugula is a yummy thing to try.
