This Low Calorie Pesto is a great way to make homemade pesto sauce with lots of flavor. This pesto sauce recipe is made my favorite way - with fresh spinach, basil, and pine nuts blended with just enough parmesan, garlic, and olive oil for flavor.
Step 2: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pine nuts until they are lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them; stir frequently. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3: In a food processor or blender, combine the spinach, basil, toasted pine nuts, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to start breaking down the ingredients.
