SPINACH & CASHEW PESTO
I couldn't find fresh basil at my local grocery store...and, pine nuts were $25.00 per pound! So, I improvised and used spinach and roasted cashew nuts instead. Even my husband loved this recipe (he had no idea there was spinach in it!)

[email protected]I would not recommend this recipe. There are much better spinach pesto recipes out there.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster. The pesto was watery and tasteless, and the pasta was overcooked.

[email protected]The pesto was too thick for my liking. I added some water to thin it out, but it still wasn't as creamy as I would have liked.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes, and it was much better.
