LUNCH

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by gathering all the ingredients for the Caprese Sub. Slice the fresh mozzarella into thick slices and set aside. Wash the arugula thoroughly and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Slice the Tomato

    Wash the large tomato and slice it into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set the slices aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sub Sandwich

    Take the large sub sandwich bread and slice it lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a hinge. Open the bread gently.

  4. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread 4 tablespoons of pine nut basil pesto evenly on the inner side of both halves of the bread. Start layering with slices of fresh mozzarella, followed by tomato slices, and then arugula.

  5. 5

    Season the Sub

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste over the arugula for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Close and Serve

    Carefully close the sandwich and press down gently. Cut the sandwich into manageable halves if desired, and serve immediately.
