Recipe: Spaghetti with sorrel and basil pesto

Pasta with aromatic herbs
September 22, 2011


SorrelI harvested sorrel since June, adding it to my rooftop salads like the Salad with Basil Vinaigrette, or creating sauces and pesto.


JalapenonaWe enjoyed the Sorrel and Sunflower Pesto but this time I added some basil and chives, and also a Japalapenona chili. It's a Jalapeno variety chili, orange, crisp and fruity.
