Very tasty, the spinach and arugula flavors really played nicely off of each other! I had a very tender arugula which I used extra of as I was thinking of it as more than just a regular pesto/sauce.

I love love love this recipe! It can be a little simple, but is thoroughly addicting. The flavors are great with the spinach pasta!

Yuck yuck yuck! This tasted like grass clippings. I haven't made anything that I simply threw away in a long time, but this one went right in the garbage.

This is an excellent winter alternative to pesto. Martha's recipes (almost) never steer me wrong. Both my husband and I liked this and will make it again. ps my husband usually does the cooking, I made this and it was EASY.

This is a really good recipe, I highly recommend it. The walnuts add great texture and the arugula is full of flavor. This didn't last long in my house!
