| Notes: |
I use walnuts in my pesto because I have them around for so many other recipes. They’re also more affordable than pine nuts. |
| Ingredients: |
- 10 ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup walnuts (see cook’s note)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
|
| Procedure: |
1. Squeeze excess water from spinach and place in bowl of food processor with artichokes, garlic, walnuts, cheese, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
2. Pulse mixture until puréed.
3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until it’s fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
This versatile pesto can be used as a dip, poured over pasta and roasted chicken or slathered on pizza dough. |
