Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------
3 cups packed fresh spinach leaves -- stems removed
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove -- to 2 cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Place the spinach, nuts, cheese, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a coarse mixture forms. With the machine running, gradually stream in the oil and blend until the pesto emulsifies. Season with pepper.
Makes about 1 cup (8 two-tablespoon servings).
This is a great variation on the original basil pesto. It's also a sneaky way to get your kids to eat their spinach!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
1. Serve over your favorite pasta.
2. Pour over halved cherry tomatoes and sliced mozzarella cheese.
3. Top crostini with the pesto, shaved Parmesan, and half of a cherry tomato or grape tomato.
4. Stir into couscous or rice to add color and flavor.
