Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place chopped basil and baby spinach along with garlic, almonds, lemon juice and olive oil in food processor and pulse until somewhat smooth until it reaches a pesto-like consistency (I did this in a Vitamix blender on low for about a minute). If you don\'t have a food processor you can do this using a pestle and mortar.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the grated goats cheese (I used a parmesan grater).
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Add water or extra olive oil to thin if needed depending on how thick or thin you want it.
