home made pasta, pesto and trip to fresh and easy

my favorite part of the day!!!

Arriving at around 4 pm, I set out to do the cooking. I had a lot of basil in the fridge, but didn’t feel the traditional pesto…

So I came up with a funky Three-Cheese-Basil Pasta


Ingredients:

20- 40 basil leaves…finely chopped
4 oz butter
½ cup creamy blue cheese
½ cup shredded parmesan
1 cup feta cheese

Procedure:

Heat a non-stick skillet, melt the butter gradually the three cheese, stirring constantly.
As they become a gooey mass, add the basil and stir. Pour immediately over hot pasta, toss and server.

In this occasion I used home made wheat pasta, but any pasta (fresh or dried) can be used!!

Everyone loved it. Great father’s day recipe!!!

Lately I have been living and breathing culinary school. I could not sleep last night because I had my first kitchen final today! I not only passed, I almost aced it. 97 out or 100!! So today’s entry I needed to take a break, only after recommending the book where I got all my recipes for today’s final..

I loved the book; it gives great techniques, and beautiful pictures, pictures yeah!! Sorry, I am a very visual person as you can tell! So, back to the book, It is beautifully described, and gives in-depth information on each day of the 5 day intensive workshops offered by the Culinary Institute of America.


Also, as for me being a visual person, today I decided to post some of my drawing projects. I love to draw… I sometimes do them on tracing paper, scan, fix on Photoshop and add effect; my second choice career would be fashion designer… Maybe I’ll be both!!

Hope you like them!!@!
