im not sure cam and i are talking about the same book, but the one i use is part of a series of books, each devoted to things like chocolate, pasta, cookies, bread, barbecue, and chicken. ive seen some of them in barnes and noble on the discount racks and at the book section of sams club. if you can find them, they really are a great series of books.
cilantro lime pesto recipe, off the top of my head. a note on this recipe: use the freshest ingredients you can find, and if you can hand make good pasta, do it.
-1 cup cilantro leaves, no stems
-about 2-3 tablespoons sliced or slivered almonds
-2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
-2 tbsp garlic
-2 tsp fresh lime juice
-1/2 c shredded asiago
-1/4 c chicken broth
stick it all in a blender and mix well. toss with linguine, and put in a bowl. arrange some cooked strips of chicken on top, put some asiago over that and set a couple sun-dried tomatoes on the side.
cant remember where i got the recipe, but i remember the first time i made it it was way too garlicky for my taste. the original recipe called for 3 tbsp of garlic.
