Recipe: Lemony Spinach Pesto Sauce {Vegan & GF}

Summary: I love my greens! From green juices and smoothies to a big ole bowl of veggies. This is all that green with a delicious side of carbs. I love that this sauce takes minutes to make and it’s on the plate.  I tend to have this when Mr Ask is having meat bolognaise because it’s a nice small serve. Of course, you could double or triple if you are serving more people. I like this to be really lemony and a thinner consistency but it’s really easy to adjust to taste. I also like to add a little shake of red pepper flakes on top as well for added kick.
