Basil & Spinach Pesto

Who doesn't love pesto? Its such a wonderful thing! The only thing i dont enjoy is the amount of oil and nuts that are usually in a standard pesto recipe. So i made a nice lightened version with some veggies snuck in for good measure!

    Would the recipe still work without the nuts? My husband is allergic to tree nuts.

      Is he allergic to all nuts or just tree nuts?

        He can eat peanuts so just tree nuts.
