This is a wonderful way to sneak a vegetable into a pasta dish. Even spinach haters will love it!
Spinach-Walnut Pesto
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped ( I use 2-3 cloves 'cause I love garlic!)
- 1/2 cup Joe and Son’s EVOO, moderate intensity
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Yields: About a cup
Preparation
Place walnuts, spinach, basil, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Process until the ingredients are combined.
Drizzle in the EVOO slowly until it is absorbed and the mixture makes a smooth paste.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over Penne Pasta, Farfalle or Ziti. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
