Spinach Pesto:
Ingredients:

Lots of clean, fresh spinach (at least a large colander full), stems removed
3 garlic cloves, cut in several pieces
small handful of pecans (or walnuts)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 – 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
pinch salt
1/8 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
zest of 1 lemon

Directions:

Place a few spinach leaves, the garlic, nuts, basil and some of the oil a 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, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Cover and process until spinach pesto mixture is relatively smooth. You may need a little more oil, and adjust seasonings to taste.

Yummy, yummy!
