Ingredients

  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup roasted cashews
  • 2 cloves roasted garlic roasting the garlic is optional
  • 1/3 cup olive oil and an extra drizzle if needed
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Using a food processor, pulse the spinach, cashews and garlic until finely chopped. 
  • While the food processor still running, add the olive oil and process until it's smooth and creamy. Add the cheese and quickly pulse one last time.
  •  I don't think it needed any extra salt... but give it a taste. Serve with your favourite pasta and extra parmesan cheese. 
  • Enjoy!
