Speedy Spinach Pesto

Have some spinach to use up? Spinach Pesto is a great way to use up too much Spinach.

I’m not sure how we ended up with so much spinach but we scored a huge tub at Costco and (2) HUGE bags from our CSA… and spinach doesn’t always keep that long.

Not to mention my neighbor gave me HER spinach from the CSA too – we were swimming in green!

So we threw together Pesto in a jiffy – and it pairs up super with the Pita Bread we made the other day.  I will say… we didn’t toast the Pine Nuts – and it turned out just as good.

You can also substitute Walnuts if you don’t have Pine Nuts – though you can find Pine Nuts at Costco – a 1 1/2 lb. bag is $21 and it lasts a LONG time.

Do you have any recipes that use up an abundance of Spinach?

We doubled this recipe to make use of all the spinach – and we opted to freeze half of the pesto for later ~ have you ever froze pesto? If not, here’s a great tutorial. Speedy Spinach Pesto
