Spinach Pesto

1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach
2 heaping tablespoons walnuts
juice of one or two lemons, to taste
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
8 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

This is a very quick and easy spinach pesto sauce. The measurements are approximations, and the recipe handles experimentation very well, so don't be afraid to vary the amounts of the ingredients. One hint; it contains a lot of raw garlic, which, when pureed in a food processor or blender can get very spicy-hot. If this becomes a problem, cover the finished pesto and put it in the microwave on high for about two or three minutes.

Place whole garlic cloves and walnuts in food processor or blender. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Thaw spinach in microwave, and place in processor. Blend thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients, and continue to blend, scraping sides of processor as necessary, until the mixture is a thick paste. Serve over hot fettucine with a loaf of french bread.
