Spinach Pesto

(photo jacked from www.treehugger.com)

I made this without measuring,out of laziness and necessity, as I do most things. Turns out, it was pretty good! Laziness wins, cheaters prosper, the hare kicked the tortoise's ass, etc. Welcome to your new reality.
Since I didn't measure, I suggest adding things a little bit at a time. And don't blame me if it's gross. If you could read my mind, you'd know exactly how to make it the right way.

Spinach Pesto (serves 2)
1 & 1/2 cups raw baby spinach
1-2 tsp pine nuts
A good drizzle of olive oil (I used way less than when I've followed traditional recipes)
1 TBS nutritional yeast (you can sub Parmesan cheese if you're wondering WTF nutritional yeast is.)
2 cloves garlic, peeled
Salt, to taste

1. Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor
2. Blend until smooth
3. Add more things if it doesn't taste right
4. Toss with warm, whole wheat pasta (I like corkscrew)
5. Eat it, fool!
