Spinach pesto 🥰

Yummy yummy, tasty, healthy, creamy, simply wow 😍👌
This pesto can be made of cashew nuts or shelled sunflower seeds.

I buy the cashew nuts in promotion like 1+1. On regular basis it is quite expensive. Sunflower seeds are cheaper.
Both options are yummy, so decide what You want to use.

Ingredients below make 3-4 servings of pesto. Cook Your favourite pasta and enjoy.
