Are your MUFA’s Low? Celebrte the Holidays

by CHERI on January 5, 2010

Well we don’t have a current holiday going on and I don’t have a project to show–yet so I am showing you a yummy recipe–and you can do the same–show whatever you are working on or what’s cooking in the kitchen till everyone gets a little settled this week, after the Holidays.

Olive Pesto Pasta

8 oz of Spaghetti, Vermicilli, etc  cooked accrding to the directions — DO NOT ADD SALT TO THIS
HINT**  I always add in about a TBSP of olive oil while my pasta is cooking to keep it from sticking together.
1 can of whole black olives, drained
1 jar of green olives, drained
1/4 tsp of crushed garlic
2 TBSP of olive oil

While your pasta is cooking I use an electric nut grinder to turn my olives and olive oil into a pesto.  Mix everything together.  you can serve this hot or cold.

I cooked chicken breast to serve with this and will serve a salad with it.

This is a quick and easy and oh so yummy meal.

Yum, sounds good. I'm at work on organizing and rearranging things, one room at a time. Wish me luck!

That sounds good! I should have posted the cake I made for New Years. Darn. I've never attempted making any kind of pesto, I need to try!

Hi Cheri! Nothing of my own to share this week either but that looks delicious! 🙂

I think you need to fly north to visit me – there's a foot of snow. On second thought, I'll come and visit you with NO snow. haha

Have a great rest of the week!

Cheri, that sounds so good! I have never made pesto either, but my little Avery loves black olives! Remember my post where she had one on each finger? She would love this recipe! I will have to try! Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing!

It looks yummy! I love olives. I also love seeing all the party buttons in one place. It helps me remember what is going on out there each day in the blogosphere.

Blessings,
Beth
