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!

    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. 🙂

    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.

    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.
