And here they are planted in our pots!
I wanted to plant some herbs, so we bought thyme and basil, and then I planted seeds for chives, cilantro, and dill. Hopefully the seeds will come up!
Someone had a really good nap on Saturday.....
I decided to make some pasta last week, and I pretty much made up the recipe. I made the sauce similar to an alfredo recipe I had made before, but made several changes. It tasted really good.
Pine Nut Alfredo Pasta
Angel hair pasta
1/4 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 stick butter
3/4 cup cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp parsley
Pine nuts
Cook pasta according to box. (you could use any type of pasta, we just like angel hair). In a skillet, saute onions in about 1 tbsp of butter. When they are starting o soften, add the garlic. When the onions are softened, add the rest of the butter, the cream, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Allow to simmer a few minutes and melt the cheese. Add the pine nuts and cook a few more minutes. Toss with cooked, drained pasta and serve. Top with some extra Parmesan cheese.
The nuts in this give it a nice slight crunch. I love the flavor of pine nuts. You could make the recipe without the nuts also, and it would still be yummy!
