Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces baby spinach
3/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
1 lemon, zest and juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound fusilli pasta

Steps:

  • Place half the spinach in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add remaining spinach and pulse to chop. Add 1/2 cup pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper to the processor and puree.
  • With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. Transfer pesto to a large bowl. If making in advance, cover pesto with light coating of olive oil and cover with plastic. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente, about 6-8 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta and immediately toss with pesto.
  • Serve pasta garnished with remaining pine nuts, grated Parmesan, and a drizzle of olive oil.

This dish was a total disaster. The pesto was watery and the fusilli was undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pesto turned out really bitter. I think I must have used too much arugula.

This recipe was way too complicated. I ended up just throwing everything in a pot and hoping for the best.

The fusilli was overcooked and mushy. I would cook it for less time next time.

The pesto was a bit too oily for my liking. I would probably use less olive oil next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not usually a fan of pesto, but this recipe changed my mind. The spinach pesto was so light and refreshing, and it paired perfectly with the fusilli. I also loved the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. This dish is definitel
