SPINACH PESTO



Spinach Pesto image

I don't like nuts in my pesto and I like spinach better than basil so I came up with this fast pesto recipe and I love it. I never measure but I tried to put it into measurments. It's best not to warm the Pesto mixture as it doesn't need it.

SPINACH PESTO SAUCE SUPER EASY AND TASTY



Spinach Pesto Sauce Super Easy and Tasty image

I am the Queen of Pesto in my community! Something so easy to make, so good yet so many people think it is hard to make. I grow all of our produce and when basil is at its peak, it is time to make huge batches of pesto. Now I have lots of fresh baby spinach and adapted my basil pesto recipe for spinach. It is great with fresh fettuccine, topped over grilled fish and baked with chicken or pork. COOKS NOTES: I usually guess with the amount of ingredients, depending on how much I have and what taste I am looking for. Experiment with quantities to suit your taste!

SPINACH BASIL PESTO



Spinach Basil Pesto image

This sauce is perfect for freezing in an ice cube tray. I just pop out a couple of cubes from the freezer and add to a pasta dish for a quick and easy meal. The Parmesan cheese can be omitted and added after thawing. Pour any pesto you aren't using immediately into an ice cube tray, cover with plastic wrap, and store in freezer.
