this veggie-packed pesto comes together in 5 minutes flat and is great for topping pizzas, pastas or even sandwiches!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 large handful fresh basil

  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese (sub nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
