Raw ingredient.
This one is for the boys in green!
I reckon if they (the Republic of Ireland soccer team) had eaten some of this pesto before their matches, things could be different now. As it is, they were knocked out of UEFA Euro 2012 last Monday night after three disappointing games in the group stages.
Why would things be different? Because this pesto is like rocket fuel! Imagine eleven Popeye-The-Sailor-Men running around the pitch – no opponent, not the smooth Spanish nor the clinical Germans could handle such a team.
I’ll send the recipe to the Football Association of Ireland, maybe they can add it to the team’s diet in the run up to the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
Here is the link to the recipe: Paul’s Favorite Spinach-Walnut Pesto
I added a little more garlic and a little less olive oil.
C’MON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!
Pure Rocket Fuel.
Added pasta.

And it’s certainly the right color! This is so pretty and you’re right, very healthy!
Pretty like Cristiano Ronaldo! (Because it has a good kick to it!) 🙂
Sounds yummy! The last recipe with pasta and spinach worked out fine so will try this one soon! Keep them coming Val.
I do have another recipe in mind to use up some of the bowlful of pesto in the fridge. Pesto ice cubes are also a possibility!
Nothing like healthy eating, right Val?
Yeah, but too much healthy eating is bad for you!
Beautiful – such a shame they got knocked out…perhaps you could become team nutritionist!
I never thought of that… now, where’s my CV!
Love the idea of spinach in pesto – but I’m thinking i’d be missin’ the basil – is that not the case? Good on you for adding more garlic!
If only I my plot was on the side of a Italian hill! Sure then I could grow my own spaghetti as well – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ugSKW4-QQ
hahahahahahah!!! Thank you!! 😀
Popeye pesto! sounds and looks great!
With a little less Olive Oyl! 🙂
Delicious! Val… so who are you rooting for now. I’ve been watching 1/2 the match most nights because it gets really late here, post midnight… good thing I’m a owl 😉
Spain or Portugal! But I’m not really bothered who wins as long as the football is good!
Yeah me too, though I do favour Portugal more… Portuguese blood in the family. But yeah the better team does win on the day.
Maybe you should replace Trapattoni!
Now there’s an idea! I do fancy having my own interpreter!
