Mondo Bizzaro Sauce

Vegetarian

This is some jazzy pesto sauce for pasta.

Ingredients

Puree in blender:

• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 c. tomato puree
• 1/2 c. chopped parsley
• 3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
• 10 fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 lb. fresh, chopped spinach leaves
• 3/4 c. olive oil

Preparation

Heat gently and toss with hot pasta (note: I think it would also be OK to have the pesto at room temp. and toss with hot pasta, for a cooler kitchen)
