Spinach-miso pesto

1 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Walnuts
12 ounces Spinach, washed & stemmed
½ cup Basil leaves
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 tablespoons Miso, any variety

Directions

Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, or on a baking sheet at 350F for 3 minutes. Set aside.

Steam spinach until just wilted. When cool enough to handle, remove excess moisture with paper towels or a salad spinner.

Blend spinach, walnuts & remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender until the mixture resembles a rough paste. Serve immediately tossed with hot pasta or refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
