Recipe: Gorgonzola and pesto pasta

Pasta with aromatic herbs
May 17, 2011


During the summer I prepare large quantities of pesto, and store it in the freezer. Every year the pesto stored and consumed when basil is out of season gives me more satisfaction than fresh one, because its taste reminds me of the hot summer.

What a lovely combination of flavors and unctuousness. This would be perfect for a main course.
