    Sundried tomato pesto spread
    yields about 3/4 cup
    ½ cup baby spinach, packed
    ½ cup sundried tomatoes
    3-5 cloves garlic, depending on your taste
    ½ cup walnuts
    ½ cup shredded romano
    2 tbsp olive oil

    Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process to a paste.

    Cucina Bella Notes:
    This spread is thicker than a traditional pesto, so it works well as a sandwich spread (in a pita or on a tortilla would be ideal). It also works great spread on meat or fish for a delicious alternative to marinades or rubs. (Try it in homemade ravioli too!) If you’d like to have it on pasta, be prepared to do a lot of stirring to get it to mesh with the pasta. Alternatively, you can add 2 tbsp of cold water to the mixture when processing to give it a looser texture that blends easier with pasta.
