Spinach Basil Pesto

Check out this great Spinach Basil Pesto from Anne of fANNEtastic food who loves getting creative with her recipes. This time, she decided to mix in a little spinach with her pesto. Try this wonderfully simple recipe to make from imaginative fANNEtastic food. This is yet another pesto recipe except with a special twist. You will find other such recipes in the list below if this isn't quite what you had in mind.
