Salsa verde is very similar to Italian pesto sauce. I like it because it doesn’t have that real strong basil taste because of the added spinach. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. Toss it with fettuccine or potato gnocchi. Make sure you pour some olive oil on top after you plate it up and sprinkle it with parmigiano reggiano.
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 lb fresh spinach
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup diced queso fresco
salt & pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic until softened. Add the spinach and basil leaves and cook until wilted. Transfer to a blender and process with the milk, cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a pan and keep it on low until the pasta is ready.

I will give this a try. I need a good sauce to go with the home made noodles. Thanks
Did you substitute the queso fresco? I just looked up subs. That recipes sounds like something I want to make tonight.
No Karen, we used queso fresco. It’s available in all our grocery stores here. If not, a Latin grocery store would have it. It comes in a large round cut of cheese about 5-6 inches in diameter.

I made the Pesto this week and it is to die for. Thank you for adding something new for pasta dishes. This will be made again and again. I didn’t have the time to make it with fresh made pasta, but that will be done the next time. Two thumbs up from DH as well.
I’m so glad you enjoyed Ingrid! 🙂
