Basil pesto with pasta and bruschetta.

This is one of my favourite dishes and it's so so easy to make. No cookery skill is needed and it's extremely fresh and tasty.

Basil pesto with Bruschetta.

Forget the bruschetta and make some schiacciata instead. Mmmmmm.

Next time you make it try it with pistachios instead of pine nuts. I made that once and it was amazing.

I do a very similar foccacia, which is nice stuff too. The bruschetta is very easy as I can buy the rolls par-baked in almost any store.

Tip here for you guys making the pesto yourself: don't use canned Parmesan. Get fresh stuff. The canned stuff makes the pesto way too salty.

Ah ok, I get ya now. I haven't used that in years.
I always thought growing up that that stuff smelled like puke, it turns out that it shares a few chemicals with puke, one of them being the puke smell.....so I was right.

Up until i was probably atleast 18 I refused to eat anything with Parmesan cheese because I thought it was disgusting. Then I found out that I love real Parm and what I had thought was parm was really the ass end of a dead skunk aka Kraft.
