M & K Movie Night Pasta

M & K Movie Night Pasta

12 oz 100% whole wheat pasta

8 oz baby spinach, chopped

12 black olives, halved

1 tomato, chopped

1 can chick peas

1 bunch basil

1/4 cup pecans, toasted

1 large clove of garlic, minced in salt

6 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt

Pepper

Make pesto in mini food processor with last 7 ingredients.  Cook pasta in salted water.  Meanwhile prep remaining ingredients.  Toss pasta with pesto and spinach.  Cover to wilt spinach with heat from pasta just a bit.  Mix in remaining ingredients.  Serve with coarse salt. 

It must have been good because we ate too much.  Pecans were an experiment since we had limited choices in house.
