Instructions

Add as much of the spinach as you can to a food processor, along with the garlic, parmesan and olive oil. Blitz until smooth.
As the spinach reduces, add more until all the spinach has been added and blitzed.
Finally add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper and blitz one last time.
Mix with cooked pasta and serve immediately.

Notes

The pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days or can be frozen. Try freezing it in ice cube trays so you can easily pop out one portion at a time.
