| Chicken Pesto Spaghetti ala Lauren |
Faced with a dying basil plant, I just had to make something with a pesto sauce tonight. Basil is such a yummy smell, I would have liked to enjoy its fragrance awhile longer but no, it was to become a pasta sauce. I had intended to follow a traditional recipe for pesto sauce but found I did not have enough basil for this. Inspired and growing more confident in my cooking skills by the day, I aspired to create my own pesto sauce. I'm not even sure of the quantities of ingredients I put in it because I was constantly tweeking it but it contained basil leaves, garlic, salt, olive oil, water, pine nuts and parmesan. It didn't exactly resemble the pesto sauces I have seen but it tasted good.
This picture doesn't really bring out the green colour, nor does it look gormet but it was good. Trust me.Labels: Italian, pasta |
