Oh, the wonders and versatility of pesto.
Today I'm sharing a spur-of-the-moment spinach lemon pine nut pesto with my wonderful friend Alice, from Hip Foodie Mom, and her readers.
She's got her plate more than full these coming weeks, from caring for her mother after a surgery to moving to another state, while being mom to two darlings and trying to juggle her everyday life.
But right now she's on a much deserved vacation in Puerto Vallarta, sipping margaritas and doing absolutely nothing. Good for her.

So, I'm guest posting this pesto which I made with whole wheat pasta, all very rustic and comforting.
Pesto is my middle name some weeks, I literally smother everything with it and call it a meal.
Here's the recipe over at hip foodie mom. Say hi to Alice, and enjoy all the goodies she posts.

smothering pesto over pasta or veg and calling it a meal - me too paula. i can't wait for summer to be here and the basil in full flory so i can make my own pesto - but now i am tempted to try this gorgeous green version!

Oh yay! I love new recipes for pesto. I definitely agree, it's such an incredibly versatile addition to mid-week meals. I actually tossed some traditional pesto through mushrooms and asparagus on the weekend, then just ate them with extra parmesan and bread! So good. Heading over to Alice's blog now xx

This dish definitely looks comforting but at the same time light and fresh! So great to use spinach!

Paula, I know you always have the most interesting pesto recipes - this recipe is another fabulous one as spinach, lemon and pine nuts are a heavenly combination and I do love those wholewheat noodles as well!
Great post, Paula!
