Spinach in pasta

Ingredients  ½ kg pasta  4 cups chopped palak (spinach)  1/3 cup olive oil  Juice of one large lemon  1 garlic clove  1/4 cup chopped walnuts  1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese  1/2 tsp salt  Freshly cracked pepper to taste  120 gm mozzarella cheese Preparation Guide  Boil salted water, add the pasta and cook until it is tender. Drain in a colander.  While the pasta is cooking, prepare the pesto. Rinse spinach leaves and chop roughly (not finely). Drain excess water.  Blend the chopped spinach in a food processor together with the olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, garlic, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Purée the mixture until smooth. Add more oil if needed to make the mixture into a thick, smooth sauce. Taste the pesto and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking. Set the pesto sauce aside.  Once the pasta is drained and cooled, add about half of the pesto sauce and mix well.  Dice the mozzarella into small cubes; add it to the pasta together with 1 tbsp of the lemon zest. Stir well. Add more pesto until everything is coated with a thick layer. Top with more freshly cracked pepper and serve, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
