(sorry for the crappy picture).
Yes, pesto. This one has walnuts, cilantro, and sundried tomatoes. I made this during the week that Alfred was away for business (and Big Game).
These days, I don't get home until about 7 or 8, so making dinner can be a challenge. Honestly, earlier this week, dinner was a handful of Cheetos, a square of Theo chocolate, and some Akmaks and some cheese from the farmer's market. It's the new fad diet, I swear.
I used this as a base for a creamy pasta dish that I adapted from one of Ina Garten's recipes (I know I've blogged about Pesto Pasta and Peas here before), but instead of sour cream, I use greek yogurt. My pasta of choice is fusilli because lots of sauce and veggies stick in the corkscrew crevices :P
Since I was cooking for the week, I also made this really great farro dish. Cook up some farro. Saute some matchsticks of (multicolored) carrots and onion, then add the farro in. Make a sauce of coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger (I like lots), garlic...and add that in, too. I finished with a garnish of cilantro and chopped up a handful of chili lime cashews (woo Trader Joe's).
Tomorrow evening, I head to SoCal for a week, so I can look forward to some mom-food and some decent Mexican food. Carne asada torta, I am coming for you!
