Spinach Pesto Pasta with Shrimp

I love pesto on homemade pasta or even toasted bread - delicious!

Usually, I like to add it to pasta dishes, because pasta has always been an easy food I could cook  :-)
This homemade spinach pesto is easy to make, packed full of healthy ingredients, and looks so pretty.  Also, it is a great  way to use spinach or fresh herbs - It's an absolutely fantastic way to use herbs. Yum.  Nothing better!

Look at this!

Spinach pesto pasta is a lot of green but, it's seriously so good - like super yum, lick the bowl clean  :-)

Spinach pesto is magic. I mean, it has a lot of uses - make this all purpose pesto sauce and serve with pasta, bread and salad... It is a magical ingredient!

Also, it will take less than 30 minutes to make and is sure to be loved by any gluten free - veggie craving - green loving - pasta obsessed gal!
