Spinach + Basil Pesto
Yes I know, surprise surprise I made something green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I didn’t want to make anything green, however; I was quite deliberate to make something that wasn’t a vibrant green because of food dye, but rather it derived its color from the pigments of Miss Mother Nature.
Homemade pesto was the winner for two reasons: (A) Everyone should know how to make pesto because it’s delicious and goes on pretty much everything and (B) I am obsessed with pine nuts right now… so much that I am willing to pay $25/lb. for them.
