He loved it because it was green!! I don't know if I have the measurements right though as this is off the top of my head...<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />Fresh Basil<br />Fresh Rocket<br />Pinenuts<br />Olive Oil<br />Garlic<br />Lemon juice<br />3 tomatoes, chopped<br />Parmesan Cheese (1/2 - 1 cup?)<br />Fettuccine<br /><br />I usually buy a small bunch of each basil and rocket and tear the leaves off. With a stab blender, food processor or magic bullet combine these leaves with a teaspoon of minced garlic, a handful of pinenuts and olive oil (you can adjust this depending on how thick you want your pesto). Set the pesto aside.<br /><br />Cook pasta in large pot and drain when ready. Stir in the pesto, some lemon juice, more pinenuts and tomatoes. Finally stir through the parmesan cheese and serve warm.<br /><br />It's super easy and delicious. The original recipe I remember called for chili peppers but I don't like chili!! It's great on its own or as a side dish for a BBQ (for the days you have meat!). And if it's one of those days when meat is just a must, try adding some chicken into the dish too!

I cook a similar soup and find that if I don't cook the chickpeas to death in a slow cooker all day, the Fussy Eater won't touch them.Fussy Eater's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302855569357192641noreply@blogger.com
