Yummy!

This is the real deal. The only difference is that Grandma made hers with a mortar and pestle. You get to use a blender or food processor. Fantastic, bright green color, freezes well.

Delicious and healthy way to use a little kale. No parmesan in this recipe but add to your dish if you like.

Each cup of pesto is 10 servings.

My version of spincah & basil pesto, thrown together from what was on hand, and trying to stay as low fat as possible. I use this as a topping for ricotta and spinach tortelloni.

Use food processor. Serve with pasta, or toasted whole wheat french bread.
