Thu, 15 Jun 2006 03:51:17 +0000 http://www.genevestewart.com/blog/2006/06/04/spring-in-the-city/#comment-122 [...] Pesto, as simple as it is, has complex flavors that are refreshing and yet substantial. Each ingredient is very intentional and is apparent without being overbearing. The balance of flavors is harmonious and the aromas from the fresh ingredients as it’s being made are intoxicating. The versatility of pesto is quite remarkable too. With summer almost officially here it’s the perfect recipe to have on hand for any occasion. I wanted to share my basic basil pesto recipe as it differs slightly from the one I shared with you in the post Spring in the City.

You got the pasta type exactly right, it is strozzapreti. I think your version is probably even better than the original because you cut the asparagus into longer pieces, which does more to add texture than Bread's small pieces. Next thing you know I'll actually be cooking recipes from your blog... gasp... Your blog inspired me to visit Bread, and try the original. You got the pasta type exactly right, it is strozzapreti.

Your recipe looks awesome, exactly the kind of pasta I like to make after a stressful day at work ;) Hi Geneve,

Every recipe has a story and a beautiful photo. Pesto is one of Jared's favorite foods, so I have to give this recipe a try. I'll let you know how it goes.
