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.

This is another recipe found through our HARO question on recipes and experience with basil. Being a spinach lover, I found this recipe especially enjoyable.
