Vermicelli with sauce verde

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Vermicelli, uncooked
1 cup Packed fresh parsley
1 cup Packed fresh spinach
¼ cup Butter or margarine softened
¼ cup Olive or vegetable oil
¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup Grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
1 Garlic clove
¾ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Dried basil leaves
Walnut halves

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

2. Meanwhile, wash parsley and spinach; shake to remove excess water, allowing moisture to cling to leaves. In blender or food processor, process greens with remaining ingredients except walnut halves until mixture is a thick puree with some specks still visible. If sauce seems too thick, add small amount of water. (Sauce thins out on hot pasta.)

3. Toss hot pasta with sauce. Serve immediately. Garnish with walnut halves. 4 servings.
