Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 95kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups spinach
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil if you have it. I've made it with and without and it's perfect either way.
- 2 cloves garlic
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/3 cup good Locatelli cheese Pecorino Romano or a good quality feta (SO, SO good with both)
- Sprinkle sea salt
- 6 teaspoons olive oil
- Water if necessary
Instructions
- Just blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add a tablespoon of water or two to thin it out more if desired. Store in a mason jar and refrigerate. Should last a few days (if you don't polish it off first!)
- I put mine over spaghetti squash and shrimp for a quick meal! Yum!
Notes
1 GREEN, 1/4 BLUE, 1 1/2 tsp (for 1/4 of sauce) OR 1 ORANGE (for 1/8 of sauce)
