What is Pesto?
What is pesto? It is crushed leave of a green leafy plant, in this case spinach. Crushing verus blending releases the “juice” or oils of the greens to bulk up the pesto.
Basil leaves, parsley leaves are other sources of green leafy plants that can be used when they are very prolife in our summer gardens.
Typically use with pasta, pesto is also great on cracker and with cream cheese. Top it off with a bit of pepper jelly and you have a delicious snack!
I look forward to hearing how you use this recipe.
