Pesto with Spinach

Directions

Place spinach, pine nuts, garlic, and ¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt, if desired, in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or a blender jar.

Pulse several times to begin chopping and blending the ingredients.

Then turn on machine at high speed and pour in the olive oil in a steady stream.

Blend until the mixture is a smooth paste.

If you are using a blender you will have to stop and start the machine occasionally to give the ingredients a stir.

When the ingredients are pureed, transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheeses.

Blend thoroughly.

For parsley pesto, substitute 2 c. of parsley for the spinach.
