Perfection With Pesto

Tonight, believe it or not, I made a quick, five minute pesto with some luxurious pasta. I had had a long forty minute bike ride and was looking forward to a nice rich dinner. Not many dinner choices were to be made. Basically I probably had around five options for something I hadn't had for lunch. We were very lucky and had spare basil so I whipped up some dinner with a trivial recipe and came out with something fabulous! The Parmesan really kicks the pasta up and with some good quality olive oil lurking deep into the flavor give the tongue a fruity taste. I learned today that even what seems to be a provincial recipe actually has a little more goodness than you would think!
