Ingredients:
4 cups torn spinach leaves, stems removed, well packed, 16 to 24 ounces
3 garlic cloves, halved
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil ( The good stuff)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese ( The good Stuff, no green can!)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Place a few spinach leaves, garlic, pine nuts, basil and a little oil in blender or food processor container.
Cover and puree until leaves begin to look crushed. Continue adding spinach leaves a few at a time with small amounts of oil to blender, using a rubber spatula to help to combine pureed mixture.
Add Parmesan cheese and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Cover and process until spinach pesto mixture is smooth.
