I didn't take any cool pics for this one, but while I was doing some volunteer work at our local food bank (I help maintain their huge vegetable garden), I came up on a few nice basil plants that were growing outside their planters, so I took them home, and made a killer batch of basil pesto, and combined it with whole grain penne pasta for a great pesto penne salad.
Ingredients were:
2.5 cups (very finely chopped) fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup finely diced walnuts
5 tablespoons diced garlic
All mixed together, combined with finished penne pasta and served cold. Yum!
