Here is the delicious vegetable pasta I made with my fresh basil pesto. It’s got green peas, broccoli and grape tomatoes that I quickly sauteed before adding them into the pasta. This is a great summer vegetarian dish. I made this with whole wheat pasta too, we have been using white pasta very little.
I have been having some problems with my email over the past few days, so if you’ve sent me anything I may have not gotten it. There were some problems with my server that I don’t understand, but what I was seeing were messages with no information about who they were from or any content in them, just the time they arrived. Some emails did go through, but some didn’t. So, if you sent me something, and I didn’t respond, please send it again. There were also email technicalities this week, and one of the scheduled emails did not go out for a giveaway. If you stop by the giveaway page there is a 2nd McDonald’s post and giveaway. This one centers on the Ronald McDonald House Charities. There is a widget where every second you pledge to spend time with your kids equals a penny McDonald’s will donate to the charity. So make sure to go by and pledge your time here.
Thanks again to OhNuts! for providing me with the pine nuts used in this recipe.

We have been using all whole wheat pasta too…and I’ve been loving it! I think that this would be a perfect week night dinner. Light, nutritious and simple to throw together. Thank you for sharing, love!
