I made Ina Garten's Pasta, Pesto, and Peas last night, and it was delicious. I served it as a side with grilled cod, but it would make a great main dish with some grilled chicken or shrimp added. It's served room temperature, so it's good for a cookout, although it does have a small amount of mayo in it. I made the pesto using her recipe and the fresh basil from my herb garden. It was pretty comical because I don't have my full sized processor in this tiny kitchen, so made it in batches with my mini-prep. My kitchen was a complete disaster by the time I finished, but the end result was worth it.

Got some on my front porch now! It's actually kind of fading as it has gotten too warm. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

That's amazing... I always just chop the flower heads back so the plants will make more leaves! I grow basil year-round, (indoors in winter) and being able to have some baby ones underway at all times would be WONDERFUL! Do you have to dry the flower heads before planting?
Anyone have any hints on how to keep parsley from bolting? I have lots of stems & flowers & hardly any leaves!
That pea pesto has my name all over it! Though I ADORE basil, I don't like pesto at all (can't have nuts, so maybe the lack of them affects the flavor?), and I can't get enough peas! YUM, thanks! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.
