Pasta with creamy spinach pesto

When you want a change from basil pesto, you should try this spinach-based pesto recipe instead. It's comforting, delicious, and terrific with long pasta like the spaghetti or linguine we call for here, but it's also great as a sandwich spread, vegetable soup condiment, or even a dip. The pesto is also made with staples like cream cheese spread, olive oil, and garlic, then the whole pasta dish is topped with bright, fresh lemon juice. You can sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and/or stir in some roasted cherry tomatoes, just keep in mind that this changes the calorie count.
