Need Help for botched pesto!!

Ugh. I just made some spinach pine nut pest from the "Everyday Italian" cookbook. I followed the recipe exactly, but it tastes awful. Too much spinach and lemon :( I guess it might be okay on top of a crusty baugette with lots of butter and even some marinara sauce and a TINY bit of that pesto. This should keep for about 2 days. I still have it in the food processor container in the fridge. Does anyone know of something I could add to the pesto to make it taste better or should I just chuck it??

I know I'm a bit late and you've gotten some great help, but I just wanted to add my two cents still. :) I've never heard of using spinach for pesto! And even when I looked up the definition of pesto in the Mirriam-Webster online dictionary, it said:

a sauce made especially of fresh basil, garlic, oil, pine nuts, and grated cheese


That said, I could imagine that a spinach pure could be yummy with some chicken and other things, but not a substitute for pesto!
