Spinach Pesto Sauce

I came across this Food Network book the other day, which had about 50 recipes in it solely for Pesto. They had all kinds of variations, like kale, artichoke, and fennel. I noticed that they didn’t have a Spinach one, which surprised me, because I always make pesto with spinach. Spinach is easy to get your hands on, and is less pricey than other forms of greens. So, I decided I’d share my recipe!

Ingredients:

• A bag of spinach
• 1/2 cup pine nuts or walnuts
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• Juice of half a lemon
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Recipe:

1. In a food processor, add in your spinach, nuts, cheese, and garlic
2. Add in all the seasonings, and lemon
3. Blend it on high and while blending, pour in some oil. Keep adding oil while blending until you get a creamy consistency
4. Add it to any dish you’d like, or store it in the fridge. I added mine to some noodles with grape tomatoes and more cheese. Enjoy!
