Garden fresh pesto recipe.
Lets use some fresh greens in a fast and healthy pasta dish. The basil is going to seed already in this heat so I really do need to start using it.
I only have 1.5 basil plants and I don't want to stress them by stripping them bare so I used a few spinach leaves in the pesto also.
Ok, into the food processor goes garlic, some walnuts(most pestos call for pine nuts but I don't have any), salt&pepper-then the greens.
Pulse the blade a few times until it looks like thisish. Then slowly pour in some olive oil while pulsing some more. You may need to scrape the sides down with a spatula a few times.
Nicely done. Taste it and add more seasoning if desired.
You don't need alot of it, just a couple of spoonfuls is enough for a pot of bow tie noodles. Serve with some grilled peppers and lamb chops for a beautiful meal on a plastic plate in the garden.

Why not try something new for your next meal!
My next meal, am going to add plenty of green vegetable.

Looks and sounds delicious!! I would opt for walnuts over pine nuts anyway. I would never even think of supplementing with spinach but that is a great idea also!! You are a man of many talents @edthecanadian!! ;)
