Hello dear friends,
We came to the end of another week when we said it was a disease, it was like that. This weekend is very important to me, actually it's both my birthday and our wedding anniversary :) The worst part is that my wife and I are still sick. Every year, we used to run away from the city for 1-2 days and celebrate our wedding anniversary, but this year it seems like we will drink linden at home and offer each other the antibiotics given by our doctor :)
If I'm in the mood, I'm planning to make a small dessert for ourselves, practically. Anyway, enough of my troubles...
pesto sauce I have told you at length before. I told you that it can be prepared with basil as well as with other ingredients. I said it's time to make arugula pesto because there is no more basil in the market during the winter months and the prices of small packages are expensive in the markets. A good example of how you can prepare practical and refreshing flavors without tiring you out.
When preparing arugula pesto, you can use walnuts or hazelnuts instead of pine nuts according to your taste. You can also try aged cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan.
Love…
