I was craving spinach and wanted to make some kind of sauce for pasta...but not putting it in a cream sauce, like I have been the last few times. That is delicious too by the way!
I put all the ingredients in the blender... presto! It tasted like pesto!
SPINACH SAUCE:
1 lb. fresh spinach
8 sprigs fresh flatleaf parsley (I used 1-2 tbsp of dried parsley)
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp. pine nuts (sunflower seeds were good)
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
8 sprigs fresh flatleaf parsley (I used 1-2 tbsp of dried parsley)
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp. pine nuts (sunflower seeds were good)
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Cook
pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and pour into
serving bowl. Wash spinach and place in container of food processor. Add
parsley, garlic, pine nuts, oil, salt and pepper and puree for 2
minutes. To serve, toss pasta with sauce and pass Parmesan cheese for
garnish. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
