Two Tablespoons Of Chopped Walnuts

Two Tablespoons Of Grated Romano Cheese

Two Minced Garlic Cloves

Two Tablespoons Of Olive Oil

Into a food processor, add the basil, the spinach, the walnuts, the grated cheese, the garlic, the olive oil, the sea salt, and the ground black pepper. Pulse until smooth.
