Side Dish Sauces and Condiments Sauces Pasta Sauces Chef John's Almond Arugula Pesto 4.8 (21) 14 Reviews 2 Photos Arugula is also quite a beautiful herb. Fragrant, spicy, crisp; it makes a great pesto. I paired it with raw almonds for a combo that was just amazing on a grilled hanger steak. Subtle it's not, but that's okay sometimes.
