Presto Pesto

My garden may not be as wildly successful as I'd hoped, but it is spitting out lots and lots of cucumbers and lots and lots of basil. Tonight I put all that lovely basil to good use with a Pesto recipe from Cooking Light. I tossed it with whole wheat rotini and topped with leftover roasted tomatoes:

Yum! I love pesto. This was super easy to mix up in the Magic Bullet, but it kind of came out a little bit pasty. I guess Cooking Light probably uses less olive oil than other recipes. It was still super tasty though.

In other garden news, I have cucumbers coming out my ears. That means this year's garden is officially kicking last year's garden in the butt. Boo-ya. Also, I think there may be a pepper growing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, but I've never grown any vegetable other than a cucumber. So this could be major. Huge. Epic. For real, ya'll.
