Pistachio Pesto

How to make Pistachio Pesto Recipe - The spinach is so finely chopped in this recipe that your kid won’t even realize what it is.

Ingredients:
1 cup packed spinach
1⁄3 cup olive oil
¼ cup shelled pistachio nuts
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, quartered
12 ounces dried pasta, cooked and drained

nutrition note:
How much sugar is in a forkful of pasta with tomato sauce? Probably a lot more than you think. Some jarred tomato sauces pack three teaspoons of the sweet stuff into each half cup and most of it is added during processing. Look for sauces with no more than 5 grams of sugar and 350 milligrams of sodium per ½-cup serving.
