Lemon & Spinach Pesto Pasta
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 1 pound of pasta, preferably rigatoni or fusilli
• About 2 cups of basil (including stems)
• About 2 cups of spinach
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
• 1 lemon
• About 1/2 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Put your pot of water on to boil for the pasta and make the pesto in your food processor. Place the basil and spinach in the processor topped with the garlic and nuts. Pulse a few times to break them down a bit.
2. Add in the zest from the lemon and all the lemon juice. Pulse again and then, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil and continue to blend until the pesto is smooth.
3. Cook your pasta to al dente, drain and return to the pot.
4. Add the pesto right on top and stir to coat the noodles. Serve immediately.
