While it's hot outside we love making a simple pesto dish. I have never loved anything as much as I love garlic. Well...maybe Gus the kitty...but it's probably a tie.
Pesto Pasta:
Cook pasta
In a blender or (our favorite) a magic bullet:
combine a handful of basil (sometimes we add some spinach as well if we're making lots of pasta), hella garlic, some pine nuts or walnuts if you're broke like we are, toss in some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend! Don't worry about proportions, it's pretty difficult to mess this up. I never measure with pesto.
Toss the pasta with the pesto, and add chopped tomatoes. Eat with some Pinot Grigio!
we're excited to try this recipe this week! thanks for sharing it!!
