Friday already! Almost the end of June. Where has it all gone?
Today I have a wonderful easy recipe for (Farfalle) Bow Tie pasta with pesto and fresh peas. Simple and delicious. Not to mention good for you. This is even good at room temperature.
1 lb bow tie pasta (Farfalle)
1 container pesto or make your own with basil, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil in the blender.
1 1/2 cups freshly shelled peas, blanch in hot water for 30 seconds (or frozen peas that have been defrosted)
The pesto has to be at room temperature. Cook the pasta al dente, drain and immediately add the pesto and peas. Toss and serve immediately. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan.
Serve with a salad made with butter lettuce and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes cut into halves. Make a dressing of equal parts fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil.
Serve with grilled ciabatta rubbed with garlic and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
A great, tasty dinner in about 20 minutes. So much better than fast food!
Thanks for stopping in today, have a great weekend
Ciao
