On the Side

Spinach and Feta Pesto
For 1 lb. of pasta

• 1/4 cup parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, removed from stem
• 2 heaping cups of washed baby spinach
• 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
• Olive oil
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (reserved) crumbled feta cheese 
• Salt to taste

In a blender, add parsley, dill, spinach, and garlic clove. Turn blender on low and slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture begins to liquefy. Turn off the blender and add 1/2 cup feta. Place lid on blender or cover with a towel and turn blender on high to process feta into the mixture. Taste and add salt as needed.

Toss with 1 lb. warm pasta and top with reserved feta cheese before serving.
