Pasta with Spinach Pesto Sauce

Description

The recipe won't take much time. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot. While the pasta is cooking, process spinach, Parmesan cheese, nuts, garlic, lemon zest, and juice in a food processor. While the processor is running, add oil and 1/4 cup of cold water, and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sauce to the pasta and toss to combine. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to reach desired consistency. Sprinkle with additional nuts and Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve hot.
