Spinach and basil pesto

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g spinach
• 1 handful of basil leaves, fresh or frozen
• 40 g Parmesan, grated
• 70 g nuts of your choice (walnuts, almonds or others)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 5 tbsp cream
• 3 cloves garlic
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Blanch the spinach and drain the water. Combine all other ingredients, including the spinach, in a blender and blend until smooth. Bring to a boil in a saucepan and immediately return to a low heat or simmer for another 10 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add more cream. Season with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper if desired. This sauce is suitable for ravioli, tagliatelle, or casseroles. For casseroles, you can add the sauce directly without boiling.
