After working hard all day I really wanted a nice pesto on spagetti , but was lacking the main ingrediate Basil..... so after a quick search around for some thing green I came up with  bag of frozen peas, Which i whisked up with pine nuts , garlic ( a hot chilli personnel taste ) olive oil some parmasan and a pinch of sea salt. Boy it was loverly , quick  cheap and easy for any visiting veggie     Dirty Tom =^..^= Where ever I lay my paw thats my home    Report

(I've still got some walnuts left over from Christmas would that do maybe?) Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me 3 times and you can see a statistical tendency    Report

I have never used walnuts but cant see why not, I have used hazelnuts, they were good , the nuts are more for the texture/ thickner  than flavour, my hubby used peanut butter once with chilli and corriander and olive oil , he didnt tell me and it was delicous, if he had told me I might of not eaten it .....!!! olives, garlic, dried toms and almonds is another I have done , almonds not quite as good as the others , but it was tasty. I love to experiment with spaggetti sauces. another favorite is mushrooms garlic chilli all whisked up to a paste add cream (dont whisk) stir in and por over spagetti  My normal everyday sauce is just tomatoes, chilli and garlic , simple clean and healthy    Dirty Tom =^..^= Where ever I lay my paw thats my home    Report
