Preparation
- Step 1
In a food processor, blender or mortar and pestle, grind together the pine nuts and garlic.
- Step 2
Add the arugula and then the cheese, creating as smooth a paste as possible.
- Step 3
Gradually add the olive oil, thinning to the consistency you desire. Season with salt.
- Step 4
Slice tomatoes into wedges or halves, or leave them whole, depending on their size, and arrange on four individual plates. Place ¼ of the arugula pesto in the center of each plate. Sprinkle a small handful of beans around the outside.

This is kind of a non-recipe. The recipe is for arugula pesto and the tomatoes and beans are just mentioned. They should just offer tomato and beans as a suggestion for how to use arugula pesto. I make my arugula pesto with pistachios instead of pine nuts for a little something different.
