Food By Maria

-1 To a large pot add water and bring to a boil. Add your spaghetti and cook as instructed. NOTE: 5 minutes before your pasta is ready add your asparagus. Don't over cook it, you still want that gorgeous crunch.
-1 In the mean time prepare your onions by adding olive oil to a medium sized pan. Let the oil heat up for 30 seconds, then add your thinly chopped onion. Sweat this down for around 5 minutes, make sure you stir occasionally to avoid burning.
-1 Into a food processor add your pesto ingredients and blend for around 45 seconds to a minute.
-1 Transfer this mixture to your onions and continue to cook on low heat for another 5-10 minutes. Keep stirring.
-1 Strain your pasta but keep 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
-1 Add your pasta and cooking liquid to the pan with the onions and pesto.
-1 ** at this point your mouth is salivating because it smells so damn good **
-1 Add your spinach and stir till wilted and gorgeous.
-1 Serve immediately and garnish with a squeeze of lemon and pepper.
-1 Enjoy!
