Pulse the spinach, basil and parsley in a food processor just until they are chopped. You may have to add the spinach in two batches to make it fit.
Add the garlic, walnuts, cheese, salt and pepper, and process until blended into the spinach.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oils. Taste for seasoning.
