Simple Spinach Almond Pesto With Basil


"Healthy pesto recipe that’s delicious without added calories from extra oil. Use this spinach almond pesto to make pesto pasta. Or drizzle it on your favorite soups and salads for a flavor boost. A classic pesto recipe is made using fresh uncooked leafy greens like spinach/kale or herbs like basil/parsley/mint. We make this pesto by sautéing spinach with almonds. This not only removes the raw taste of spinach but also enhances the pesto flavors. We also add fresh basil and chilies to retain the “pesto” freshness and a depth of flavor."
