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.
