This has a very different taste to a basil pesto, but I think it is delicious. Plus, it's a great way to eat your spinach! This quantity is enough for 2 1/2 lbs of pasta.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this pesto is delicious! The kale is very subtle and the other ingredients really shine through.
