Farm Fresh Recipes — Basil

Is it even summer if you don't make pesto?! We don't think so! With just a few simple ingredients you can bring the taste of summer into your kitchen. Why not make an extra large batch and freeze it to enjoy over the winter?

In the summer I crave protein loaded light meals. This is one of my favourite lunches; it leaves me energized and ready to be under the hot sun for the rest of the day.

Arugula pesto is a great way to add a peppery zing to your meal. You can use this delicious sauce anywhere you'd use traditional basil pesto - in pasta, on a sandwich, drizzled on a pizza, or as a salad dressing. If you like things really zingy, skip the basil and use all arugula. It's delicious either way!
