My rocket has been going crazy in the warmer weather, so I decided to make rocket pesto pasta, inspired by Ro’s here. I love his blog, Whole Larder Love, and his encouragement of us all to get out and grow our own food as much as we can.
Well I grew a whole lot o’ greens. And the biggest sin is when you don’t do anything with them.
I actually made two dishes here – the rocket pesto and a spinach and ricotta cannelloni, so spent a bit of time washing, drying and picking the leaves.
♥ The linky will be up every Monday morning, and will stay up until the following Sunday. It doesn’t matter if you eat your meal on a day other than Monday – it’s just an easy day to create the link.
♥ Visit at least one other blogger and leave some love. This is so much more cool if we’re in it together!
yum! Im making this for dinner! We have been eating mestless meals 3-4 times a week and it feels great- lighter if that makes sense 😉
Oh dude, totally. Without getting freaky, I noticed my digestion work so much better almost straight away. All that aside, this is an awesome meatless option and I’m totally not biased…
In my opinion the besto pesto is without measure. Just whizz, taste, adjust, whizz, taste. It’s in touch cooking man. Chef-style!
Gots to do the tasting! I agree, I don’t know how I got into food blogging when I rarely do anything by recipe. Sometimes I go along cooking talking to myself so I know how much to write down later!
This looks delicious – I love fresh pesto and it’s a great healthy alternative for a summer meal. Shari from http://www.goodfoodweek.blogspot.com
Oh totally, anything that is quick and doesn’t require turning the oven on gets my vote xx
Luscious! Simple pasta combos are always the best.
ps. Don’t think your linky thing is working.
Thanks dude.
This sounds soooo good! I always think ” I should make pesto ” & then I never do! I’m on holidays after this week so I think I’ll give it a go 🙂
Do it, then freeze it! Then you don’t have to worry about making it for months.
I love a good pasta and my rocket has gone beserk a bit like me at this time of year I am going to make this as well ,Thank You Stacey x
I have just planted more! Gotta love rocket, it grows so fast 🙂
I was so wondering what to cook tonight and you’ve totally inspired me. No rocket in the garden but a whole lotta basil, parsley and spring onions and with hubby working away for two days, I think I’ll take advantage of being able to go Vego and eat a lovely homemade pesto tonight (he hates basil….which is why I grow it of course!). Love your work Stacey!
Haha! I would totally do the same. There’s nothing, NOTHING like homemade pesto. The bought versions don’t even come close! Can’t wait for my basil to regrow, I’m going to pesto myself stupid.
that looks amazing!!!!
haha because it IS. Ro is a genius.
This looks divine – and simple!
