The best thing about my green goddess recipe is that it’s packed with nutrients. I mean, it has a whole cup of spinach blended in and you’d never know! I love how good it is for you and how flavorful it is, making it perfect to on top of just about anything. My kids love to eat pasta, so we have just about every shape imaginable in our pantry. Why not combine the two? Pick your favorite pasta, blend up this quick vegan pesto, and enjoy a nourishing dinner in just a few minutes.
