This was excellent! I thought the addition of spinach would lessen the flavor, but it wasn't an issue at all. I added a little extra garlic and actually think it probably would've been fine with just the 4 cloves as the recipe calls for. I ended up making a double batch because I like the first batch so well!

I've never had pesto before but was looking for something different for my pasta so I tried it. All four kids ate it without complaining. Two of them and my husband polished it off. I've made it twice now and will definately make this again. I also followed somones advice of freezing it in ice cube trys. Great idea! Thanks

I have never made or even eaten pesto before, but needed it for another recipe. This was a great first experience in both areas. I used frozen chopped spinach, walnuts, and lime (what I had available). I used fresh basil from my garden. The flavor was not over powering but still very good. Thank you for the recipe.

Simplicity and fresh ingredients are a divine combo! I added cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes, nutmeg and walnuts; omitted the cheese.

Very good. A great balance. Not to strong but plenty of flavor.

My 4, 7, and 9 year old love anything with pesto in it so I wanted to find a way to make it as healthy as possible since they eat it almost every day. The spinach adds veggies and I used Walnuts to add Omega I added 1/2 cup more walnuts than the recipe called for. Really good recipe. I have huge crops of Basil in the summer time so I double the recipe and freeze in ice cube trays so it lasts for a few months.

How delicious! I have never made pesto sauce before, so this was my first attempt and it was exquisite! Finding at the last minute that I did not have pine nuts, I looked up on the internet to find a suitable substitute, and finding almonds were appropriate (and I had them) I used almonds. They cut up beautifully in the food processor and I have some left over which I am going to freeze for another treat some summer evening! I highly recommend it!
