Ingredients
Instructions
  1. bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water after cooking
  2. meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth, adding reserved pasta water if/as needed to thin (I used 3 tbsp), season with pink salt
  3. to serve, toss hot pasta with desired amount of pesto
Recipe Notes
  1. this pesto is also great as a dip for crudités or chips, and is great on sandwiches (just omit the pasta water in this case)
  2. switch up the greens ~ in place of spinach use arugula or parsley
  3. switch up the nuts ~ in place of pine nuts use walnuts or almonds
