Beautiful Sunday

Hello my cheerful friends!


This weekend was very slow, yesterday it was raining all day long, so we had nothing to do, but to sit at home. Today was a very nice weather, sunny and fresh. I did not do anything in particular today, that is why I have no major news to share with you, but I sure have something for you, these two new recipes, hope you will try to cook these dishes, and I have no doubt you will love them!

"Spaghetti With Pesto Sauce"


We only eat Garofalo pasta, in the US you can buy it in Costco. We have tried a lot of different, but this one remains the best.
Bring water to boil then add olive oil, and salt. Put spaghetti in the pot, and cook according to the instructions on the package.

Pesto sаuce:

2 big bunches of spinach
150g Walnuts
150g Parmesan cheese
10-12 tablespoons Olive oil
sea salt
ground pepper

Directions:

Using a blander mix all the ingredients well. At the end, salt and pepper to your taste.
I usually make a jar of pesto, you can keep it in the fridge, and eat it whenever you want.

Love these Ball jars
