If you follow this website, you know I am always looking for new ways to add a vitamin punch to sauces. This recipe combines fresh spinach and basil to create a beautiful green, smooth and creamy sauce. It is a wonderful addition to any base you like. It is of course great on pasta, but it is also a fun topping for mashed or roasted potatoes and I promise you won't miss the butter!

This recipe is also very quick and easy to pull together...everything just goes in the blender and then cooks on the stove top. You can have it simmering away while you cook the base it will top. I love this recipe especially when I am in a time pinch but want something nourishing for my body.

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of fresh spinach
  • 1 large handful of basil
  • 1 cup raw nuts (almonds or cashews)

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg

Instructions:
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour into a pot and heat on medium-high while stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
