 Categories: Italian, Sauces
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2 c  Tightly packed spinach,
           Washed and stemmed
      2 tb Broken pine nuts or
           Shelled walnuts
      2 lg Cloves of garlic, peeled
           Salt
    1/2 c  Olive oil
    1/2 c  Freshly grated
           Parmesan cheese
      2 tb Freshly grated
           Romano cheese
 
        Place spinach, pine nuts, garlic, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. 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.
