Name: Simple Basil-Spinach Pesto
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: ½ cup fresh basil leaves, packed; ½ cup fresh spinach leaves; ¼ cup pine nuts; 2 cloves garlic, minced; ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil; ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

I wanted a very simple, basic basil or spinach pesto without all the 'extras,' so I created my own version. This is great as a spread or anywhere a pesto is called for. The basil and spinach are interchangeable for 2 kinds of pesto or they can be combined (half-and-half) for a great spinach-basil pesto!
