Last night’s Meat Free Meals was a great success. Eleven people turned out to sample pesto pasta and polenta, which was prepared to demonstrate Italian cuisine. One of the attendees shared her experience of visiting Italy as well, which was fascinating.
If you’d like to try this recipe yourself, here it is:
Pesto Pasta (serves 8)
1 cup basil, loosely packed
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic , crushed
2 tbsp pine nuts
8 oz whole wheat pasta
1. Prepare pasta as directed. Drain and return to pot.
2. Combine basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and pine nuts in blender or food processor. Blend until ingredients form a paste.
3. Add pesto to drained pasta; stir to combine.
