This is my spin on normal pesto.  I reduced the oil and cheese, and substituted most of the basil with spinach to add a healthy twist.  Jeremy and I both love this. I like to toss this with hot pasta for a light dinner (add chicken if you want), or spread on a crostini for a quick appetizer.

To make this #dinnerdoneby9am I prepare the pesto in the morning, refrigerate all day, then toss with hot pasta prior to serving.

-2 c spinach
-1/2 c basil
-1/2 c walnuts
-1/2 c parmesan cheese
-3 cloves garlic
-1 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-2 Tbsp lemon juice
-4 Tbsp olive oil

Puree all ingredients in food processor.  Allow pesto to sit in the fridge for at least an hour prior to using to let the flavors come together.
