Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cloves garlic
4 packed cups spinach
1/2 packed cup basil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Prepare a 12 oz. package of gluten free spaghetti noodles (or any noodles if not gluten free) according to package instructions.

CREAMY WALNUT PESTO SAUCE



Creamy Walnut Pesto Sauce image

This is a creamy Italian-style sauce that I regularly serve warm, over hot noodles or cold, spread on crackers. The combination of the sour yogurt, tangy garlic and bitter walnuts makes for a nice, balanced sauce. This recipe works best with a yogurt that contains 5% milk fat or higher. Add enough so that the sauce is a bit wetter than you'd like because the dry ingredients will absorb a fair amount of liquid. You don't need to use your best extra virgin olive oil because the food processor will ruin its flavour, pure grade olive oil is fine.

PAUL'S FAVORITE SPINACH-WALNUT PESTO



Paul's Favorite Spinach-Walnut Pesto image

I got this recipe from my brother-in-law - - it is his signature dish. I know he got the original recipe from a cookbook, but I do not know the name of the book. The pesto has an intense green color and a pleasingly bold flavor. Serve over thin to regular spaghetti noodles. Also, this pesto freezes very well.
