Pesto makes meals quick and easy, especially if it's frozen and ready to go! I had some basil and walnut pesto in the freezer that needed to get used (I've heard it only lasts about two months in the freezer? anyone have any advice?), plus it made it easy with all the details to attend to in these final days before the wedding (now less than three weeks away, omg). This was the perfect opportunity to enjoy some heirloom tomatoes in their simplest form: sliced and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and some pesto.
Along with the tomatoes, I picked up some pre-packaged gnocchi to try out. Threw in some frozen peas, lots of pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes for garnish, and voila! Of course, the only downside is that I still have garlic breath today..... luckily both John and I have equally garlicky breath, so kissing isn't out of the question :-)
Next Year in Jerusalem. This Year in Manhattan.
