Super Yummy Spinach and Apple Pesto

This morning the boys and I walked down to the Saratoga Farmer's Market.  I did not know what I was going to purchase (besides Sage's m&m cookie from our cookie lady Linda).  After dancing to a wonderful bluegrass band, Running the River, we walked back and forth until I felt inspiration for our supper.  Sometimes it is very hard to decide when surrounded by lovely fruits and veggies, but at the moment I saw the big green bag of spinach I knew that I had to have it.  Apples are a usual purchase, and we love spinach, so I thought that the two would be so great together!
I did an internet search and found an awesome recipe for roasted carrot ravioli with apple-spinach pesto.  I did not have the time to make pasta tonight, so I used some spaghetti that I had on hand.  This pesto is AMAZING!  Sage gobbled it right up.  And to make it better, it is so simple to create and easy to make vegan.  For added flair, I added pine nuts and craisins as a garnish.  So delicious!



Thank you 51 Porter, we will be returning to find more delicious creations!
