this weekend i had to throw together a really quick side dish to accompany dinner. i knew that i had some fresh parsley and fresh spinach in the fridge that i wanted to use up, so i made some pesto to go on pasta. the fresh parsley combined with the fresh lemon gives this pesto such a bright flavor. it took a matter of minutes to throw together and it was so tasty!
