SPINACH PESTO
This is a combination of recipes I discovered on the web when I had a ton of spinach and the basil hadn't grown enough to harvest yet. Pine nuts are just too expensive, so changed those out. This recipe is so easy and infinitely adaptable. It's just as good as a bread spread as it is on linguini!
