Spinach Pesto

There is nothing I love more than a great Pesto to use on pasta, sandwiches or toast! I used some of my homegrown Basil for this recipe & i could just taste the freshness!! I highly suggest storing in a small glass jar to preserve freshness longer in your 'frig...found the cute glass jar below at Goodwill for $.99! Just be sure to sanitize and clean a few times and these glass jars are good as new

One-Butt Recipe:

  *ingredients:

• Basil leaves
• pine nuts (about 2 tbsp)
• olive oil
• fresh spinach
• 2 cloves garlic
• parsley
• parmesan cheese

   *concoction:

   I put everything except the Parmesan cheese in the food processor and pulsed until smooth. I add lots of grated cheese and a little extra olive oil to get a smoother consistency! At first it may look like you've used too much olive oil but once it's in the refrigerator for a little bit this actually helps the consistency. 

Some great things to add to this recipe are:

• sun dried tomatoes
• asparagus
• little salt
• diced jalapeno if you like it hot:)
