Ingredients

1/4 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
5 cups fresh spinach
2 cups fresh parsley
1/4 cup asiago cheese, grated
zest from 1 lemon
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon

Directions

1

In a food processor or blender first chop up the pine nuts and garlic, pulsing several times.
2

Add in the spinach, parsley, asiago cheese, lemon zest and juice and salt. Blend until smooth stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, if necessary.

Slowly drizzle in 1/3 cup of olive oil while blending. You may want to add more depending on how thick you want the sauce. I added in one extra tablespoon, but do what feels right.
