Ingredients: 1/4 cup (35g) pecans; 6 tablespoons (90g) water; 1 cup (140g) cooked peas (I used frozen); 2-3 large cloves of garlic, to taste, since sizes can vary so much; 2 tablespoons (30g) fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest; 2 tablespoons (14g) of nutritional yeast (I use and recommend the Sari brand-it's unfortified and has better flavor); 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 3 very firmly packed cups (100g) fresh spinach, weigh for accuracy; I use this scale
