Recipe information
Yield
serves 4
Ingredients
1 bunch (about 4 ounces) arugula, stems trimmed, washed
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 assorted Italian pork sausages, both hot and sweet varieties (about 1 pound)
Preparation
Step 1
Make the pesto: Place the arugula and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides if necessary. Add the cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and puree until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Heat a grill to medium-high. Prick the sausages with a fork to allow excess fat to drip. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve the pesto over the grilled sausages.
