Just a gal in Austin, TX, striving to build an heirloom food heritage, one recipe at a time. Often inspired by my Northern Italian & Portuguese upbringing. Always inspired by what’s growing in the garden. I try to make being in your kitchen something deeply enjoyable, meaningful, and fruitful in your everyday lives.
Arugula pesto pasta with roasted garlicky cherry tomatoes is bright, summery, and perfectly paired with anything coming off the grill. It’s delicious warm, room temp or straight out of the fridge. This pesto is creamy from cashews, bright and lemony, herbaceous and spicy from the combo arugula, basil and chives. In the pasta we’ve got more arugula, green and red onion, and feta. It’s everything I want for my summer dinner side. And for lunch the next day.
