Spoon the onion and oil mix into a blender or possibly food processor. Add in spinach, basil and salt. Process till mix is finely minced. With motor running, pour the remaining 1/4 c. of extra virgin olive oil in a slow but steady stream through the feeder hole.

- She developed this sauce to use on fettuccini because her family doesn't like classic pesto. "...I found myself dipping into it serendipitously throughout the week. One night I placed dollops of it atop of our grilled chicken breasts. Another time it became the basis for a quick pasta salad.
- It even worked as a sandwich spread with sun-dry tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and pickled Greek pepperoncini. Try it as an accent for pork chops or possibly fish filets too.
- "This is a delectable, speedy, make-ahead sauce. Refrigerated, it maintains good color and flavor for at least a week. It could probably go longer, but I haven't managed to leave a batch alone long sufficient to be sure."
