Basil, spinach, cashews, and fresh cherry tomatoes - what's not to love? 

After going vegan I missed the convenience of those little jars of pesto sauce where you would just cook your pasta and smother an unhealthy amount of that sauce over top. Thankfully, this basil pesto recipe is ridiculously quick and with all the spinach packed in the sauce how can you resist?
