Pesto Pasta
Fresh made basil pesto with olives plus walnuts

Starting with fresh basil (preferably garden fresh). I add chopped garlic, olives and some brine of olive, walnuts, a dash of olive oil (optional). Blend in a kitchen puree machine. You could substitute pine nuts (traditional).
Add linguine cooked to a large bowl. Chop cherry tomatoes and add to bowl. Wash hands and mix up fresh blended pesto, tomatoes, and noodles.

Tahini garlic herb sauce:
I chop fresh garlic to a mince. I add tahini butter and miso with hot water. Add some fresh herb to taste (like basil/cilantro). I then drizzle over the pasta.
