Super Spinach Pesto

This has been a great recipe that uses spinach instead of the traditional basil as its base, making it cheaper to make. Great in homemade tomato soup.

I never thought about using spinach in pesto! I had a some basil as well & used it as well as the spinach. I used pine nuts since that is what I had & I 86'd the dried oregano. I figure using the spinach...it's an extra health boost! Will continue to do that from now on even if I have tons of basil. This is great. Thanks!
