Yet Another Pasta With Pesto.
Not everything Italian is red sauce based. We like a little sorta pesto once in a while to make things more interesting. Like I have said before sometimes you use what is fresh or what is on hand in a real Italian household. This what I used today: (amounts are to taste)
Salt
Pepper
Chives
1 Boiled bell pepper
1 handful Lettuce
Garlic powder
1/4 Onion
Cilantro
Basil
Oregano
2 splash Salad Oil
1 splash Vinegar
1/2 cup or so Peanuts.
Your favorite cheese
optional: green beans
Add everything but the peanuts to a food processor.
Grind to a fine mixture.
Add the peanuts grind mixture a bit more.
Put a touch of butter on some cooked noodles.
Add the sorta pesto.
Add your favorite cheese.
Eat!
Update: I made a new version with boiled spinach and green beans, but I did not pulverize it all. Gosh it was good.
