SPINACH PESTO!

Last night we spent the evening with some dear friends of ours. Ashley treated us to homemade spinach pesto! It was AMAZING!!!!! I just had to share it with you!

SPINACH PESTO

2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup walnuts or pinenuts
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
*place all ingredients into food processor and process to a fine paste
*taste and adjust seasonings and transfer to a glass container and top with a thin
coat of olive oil to prevent the top of the pesto from discoloring
*keeps for weeks in the refrigerator
*yields 2 cups



Ashley mixed the pesto with veggie pasta and chicken sausage. We had spinach strawberry apple salad and sauted cauliflower, beans, and mushrooms for sides. So yummy!!!!
