  Delicious!! I used grated parmesan and added extra garlic and olive oil too! It wasn't particularly easy to whizz the rocket as I only have a hand blender, but with some persistence it worked. It certainly hasn't put me off and will do lots as I'm lucky enough to have an overgrowth of rocket in my veggie patch ;-)

  A delicious way to get rid of a glut of rocket, (although I prefer basil pesto which when home made is heavenly). I added a squeeze of lemon to this recipe to give it some zip.
