Here is how you make Spinach Pesto (Vegan/Vegetarian):

The recipe is really easy: I rinsed and tore the spinach just enough to fit it in my blender (I used full-size spinach leaves- not baby spinach), blended enough to chop it up. Added the beans and garlic, blended a bit more to slightly combine. Added the olive oil, spices, lemon juice. Blended until well-combined.1/4 cup sauce was plenty for me on a big bowl of whole wheat pasta. It would be REALLY good with some chopped tomato thrown on top (of the finished sauce, not blended in) or some Parmesan cheese. Hint- I initially poured out .25 cup olive oil to add- it did not need all of it so I only ended up adding 3 TBS. Also- I do not measure my spices, so these are approximate- add a small amount and then add more if needed. Serving Size: Makes about 2 cups of sauce, 1/4 cup serving is plenty (8 servings)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TREEBW.
