    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon water
    1/2 cup light mayonnaise

    1. In a blender combine spinach, basil, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper.
    2. Add oil and water, cover and blend until nearly smooth and mixture is a paste.
    3. Add mayo to the spinach mixture.
    4. Add to pasta and toss well to coat.
