Spinach Basil Pesto
I LOVE pesto! It's so easy to make and can be tossed with pasta, used as a sandwich spread, served as a dip, drizzled on a tofu scramble, and in so many more ways. I love adding spinach to pesto to help bulk it up a bit. If you like, try subbing the spinach for arugula for a peppery flavor.
