I love making this pesto to get more spinach into my kids! I actually way prefer it to store bought pesto, or basil pesto! It only has a few ingredients, and is super easy to make.
I love serving it on pasta, on sandwiches, or anything you would put pesto on!
What You Will Need
- Spinach
- Parmesan cheese
- Lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Garlic
Storage
You can store the pesto in the fridge for 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months!

Love the recipe but is the spinach cooked or raw?
Thank you! It’s raw.
Literally so delicious and easy – My daughter loved it and My husband and I prefer this to regular pesto! I used green lentil pasta and it tasted great on that as well. 🙂
Yay I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it! My family loves that one too 🙂
We LOVE this pesto! I live in Italy and everyone I’ve made this for has raved about it. I started using this instead of store-bought in my pesto/Parmesan pinwheels and they’re one of my daughter’s favorite things.
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear!
Hi, how much pasta for this? Thanks!
Hi! This is more a recipe for how to make the spinach pesto. If you were adding it to pasta I would say about 2 cups.
This was SO easy to do in a pinch for my 1 year old. I am so glad I stumbled upon your instagram page– we’ve already used so many of your recipes! It feels good to know that there is a one-stop-shop for easy and, most importantly, healthy recipes for babies and toddlers out there.
