Very good sauce for pasta and pizzas. I found I needed a good amount more salt and pepper than the recipe calls for. Also, because spinach doesn't have a hint of sweetness the way basil can, I added a drop or two (literally) of Vanilla. That just about did it.

Sorry to keep picking on you but your recipes are soooo good. I don't have an herb garden and to buy those little plastic packaged herbs at the market is so expensive when you need two cups. Spinach is the favored veggie in our house so I thought, "why not?" This was really terrific served tossed with some linguine and grilled shrimp.

Tasty. I think it would be very good served with chips or crackers. I used it on pasta and the flavor wasn't as intense as I'd like. I needed more salt & pepper. My boyfriend thought it was a tad dry, no doubt since it uses less oil than most pestos. A good recipe that I'll make again, with a few tweaks. Thank you for posting!

Great change of pace. Really liked the use of walnuts which shine oh so nicely against all the other ingredients. .Also like that this has less added oil then most other pesto recipes. Made as written using the walnut option and used in both Nif's Grilled Tomatoes With Pesto and Cheese and Roasted Pesto Beets. Will be making more real soon. Thanks for the post.

Loved this recipe. It's a little wetter than most basil pesto which is a nice alternative depending on what you plan to use it for. Great way to sneak spinach past kids who don't care for it. Fortunately mine love it which made this recipe an even bigger success.

I wanted to use up some parsley, and found this recipe. I was a bit skeptical about the lack of basil in the recipe, but after I tasted it, I was very pleasantly surprised. I used it to make Portabella Pesto Bruschetta and it turned out really well. Thank you for making me go out of my "safe" zone.

MMMMmmm I'm addicted! Reduced the garlic slightly (it had a bit of a bite with the recommended amount, if you like that) used fresh basil instead of parsley, and toasted the pine nuts before adding. Just adjust seasonings to taste.
I can't wait to try this as many ways as I can. I love the color too.

A tasty and healthy spread, with a cheery green color. The proportions were off for my taste; it probably depends on the specific fresh ingredients. We're usually big garlic fans, but this was way to much. More nuts would have been good, and I did need to add more liquid. I used lightly oiled plastic wrap over the top of the pesto (on the pesto, not up at the top of the container) and didn't have any problem with discoloration.

I was given a huge bag of spinach leaves by a grower & my basil wasn't quite ready yet so this pesto recipe was a great find. Tastes very yummy. I forgot to drizzle some olive oil over the top & mine got a pink coating after about 10 days which scared me so I ended up tossing the rest of it out, sigh! To future reviewers, don't forget the olive oil coating!!!!!

I made exactly the same recipe last week, but it was from Rachael Ray's cookbook and was scaled down from this serving size. Since it contains the almost the same ingredients, I feel that I can rate this accurately...5 stars all the way. I've always bought my pesto, but this way is so much better for you and so easy to. I can have fresh pesto made before the pasta cooks! No more store-bought pesto for me.

amazing. This is just the recipe I have been looking for. It's such an easy meal. I used it on cheese stuffed tortellinis for dinner and then I put it on a tortilla with turkey and some wrap fixings and it's awesome for lunch. I used pistachio nuts which I think gives it a great flavor and are much cheaper.

This was just lovely and so easy to make. I had a large amount of prewashed baby spinach to use up- so this recipe was just what we needed. Tossed it into cheese tortellinis and grape tomatoes. Yumm! I love that there is not a lot of oil in the recipe, as there often is in pesto. Thanks for posting, would make it again.
