Okay, not really. But I love when I make something I have never made before and it kicks ass. Especially when it is easy to make. Even though I went to culinary school, there were a lot of dishes I never had a chance to make. This is my very first pesto!
Just basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil whizzed in a blender. I threw it in some pasta with shrimp, roasted red bell pepper (capsicum to you Aussies) and saut?ed onions. Good stuff. I could eat a whole bowl of it with just some bread! I rock. ~LTG
