Spaghetti With Spinach Sauce

Pesto...pesto...

I wanted it badly. But, thanks to my local market, i can't find the ingredients anywhere.

Al the ingredients basil, pine nuts, and everything

Then I found this amazing site and in some recipes they said that you can replace basil with spinach, so i tried this recipe.

Most of all I love the green colour that made this meal was very beautiful.
