Vegan Linguine With Spinach Pesto image

This is a pesto recipe I invented last spring. Goes well with a glass of Chardonnay. Non-vegans can add some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or grana on your pasta!

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
½ (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
1 lemon, zested
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Place frozen spinach in a microwave-safe bowl; defrost in microwave on medium for 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze as much water from spinach as possible. Blend spinach, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and garlic in a blender until smooth.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add lemon zest and pesto. Season with salt and black pepper. Add linguine and toss to coat with pesto; cook until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pesto turned out really oily. I had to add more spinach and Parmesan cheese to thicken it up.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I added some red pepper flakes and garlic powder to give it more flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds in the pesto. It turned out great!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up.
