PASTA, PASTA AND MORE PASTA! LENT IS ALMOST OVER. TONIGHT I MADE TRENETTE WITH PESTO, BEANS AND POTATOES. THE PESTO SAUCE WAS EASY TO MAKE AND IT CONSISTED OF PINE NUTS, BASIL (FROM OUR GARDEN), GARLIC, OLIVE OIL, SALT AND PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO CHEESE. THE RECIPE ALSO CALLED FOR SMALL RED POTATOES THAT WERE BOILED TILL TENDER AND THEN CUT IN HALF. THE GREEN BEANS WERE ALSO BOILED TILL TENDER AND THEN PLUNGED IN AN ICE BATH AND SET ASIDE READY TO ADD TO THE PASTA ONCE IT WAS COOKED. AFTER THE PASTA WAS COOKED I PLACED IT IN A WARM SERVING BOWL ALONG WITH THE GREEN BEANS, POTATOES AND PESTO. THE PASTA WAS FANTASTIC AND IT REMINDED ME OF WHEN KAREN AND I WENT TO ITALY!!!!
