Spinach Pesto

sadie_love, based on a Giada deLaurentis recipe

2 cups spinach leaves, washed

1/4 pine nuts (I used walnuts, they're much cheaper and I always have them in the freezer)

1-2 tsp lemon zest

1-2 Tbl lemon juice

1/3 olive oil

1/3 grated paremsan

salt

pepper

Put the spinach, nuts, lemon zest and lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse until it makes rough paste. With processor running, slowly pour in olive oil until it makes a creamy paste. Pour into a bowl, add parmesan, salt and pepper. Serve over pasta.
