Spinach Pesto

Here is the recipe from this morning's show. This was wonderful over whole wheat Penne. It is also very healthy.
 
Spinach Pesto

3-4 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup fresh basil
3 cloves fresh garlic
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp pine nuts
2 Tbsp olive oil

Put first 5 ingredients in food processor starting with spinach. Pulse until well combined and finely chopped. Put speed on low and drizzle olive oil through port while blending on low, about 15 seconds. Turn on high for a few seconds to give everything a good mix.

Serve over whole wheat pasta, eggs, salads or with your favorite grilled meats.
