Beautiful bright green spinach pesto will be your best friend for busy week night dinners.

Beautiful bright green spinach pesto will be your best friend for busy week night dinners. Step-by-step photo instructions. | www.sweetandsavorybyshinee.comI love spinach. It’s one of my must-have fridge staples. I use them pretty much in everything, omelets, juices, smoothies, salads, even savory French toast. Recently, I ended up with too much spinach right before a long vacation. And no way I will waste such a nutritious produce! I googled for some ideas and came across spinach pesto. Bingo! I love pesto. I usually make a huge batch of it and freeze them for later use. I knew that spinach pesto would be just perfect.

There are so many meals you can prepare with it. My favorite is spinach pesto pasta with grilled chicken, or fish for those lazy nights. I also tried baked chicken stuffed with pesto. Sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
