Presto Pesto!

Who doesn't love a good pesto sauce?  This is an easy, quick recipe with ingredients that I usually have on hand at any moment.  We used this for our homemade gnocchi (recipe and pictures to come soon), but put this on any pasta and enjoy a simple, light meal!

Spinach and Basil Pesto

1 1/2 cups spinach
3/4 cup basil
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup EVOO

1.  Blend everything except the EVOO in a food processor.

2.  Slowly add EVOO while constantly processing. 

Stores in refrigerator for several days or can easily be frozen.

Bon appetit!
