- 1 Garlic clove
- 3/4 ts Salt

Instructions:
Walnut halves 1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. 2. Meanwhile wash parsley and spinach; shake to remove excess water allowing moisture to cling to leaves. In blender or food processor process greens with remaining ingredients except walnut halves until mixture is a thick puree with some specks still visible. If sauce seems too thick add small amount of water. (Sauce thins out on hot pasta.) 3. Toss hot pasta with sauce. Serve immediately. Garnish with walnut halves. 4 servings.
