Spinach Pesto!

This perfect pesto is great on everything! Pizza, sandwiches, mixed into pasta sauces, on crackers and anything else you can think of. This also takes no time at all.

You’ll need:
2 cloves of garlic
1 cup fresh basil
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup pine nuts 
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
splash of lemon juice (optional)

Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor until smooth and refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. I use Dave’s Magic Bullet which is the best for sauces and spreads, plus the lids have a great seal for the attachment cups.

Note:
For the pizza above, we simply warmed flat bread in the oven with 
olive oil and spices, added the pesto, topped with ground TVP, 
daiya cheese and grn pepper. Voila.
