Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Spaghetti

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Prepare the Pesto

In a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, basil, Parmesan cheese, walnuts, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.

3

Combine Spaghetti and Pesto

In a large bowl, toss the cooked spaghetti with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.

4

Optional Steak and Potatoes

If serving with steak, season the steak with salt and pepper and cook in a hot skillet until desired doneness. For the potatoes, peel, boil, and then brown in a skillet until crispy.

Plate the spaghetti and top with optional steak and browned potatoes if desired. Enjoy!
