Spaghetti w/Fresh Pesto

by Irene Lindvall


I was supposed to make this for dinner last night, but it didn't happen so it made a nice light lunch for today. It definitely felt like it took awhile to make, but it was worth it. I liked the addition of hard-boiled eggs on top and the pesto was delicious. The secret ingredient was the fresh lemon juice on top. Many recipes called for a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice at the end and I'm really understanding the importance of it.

Side note: I've started chopping, cutting, and slicing without looking down. Instead I read the recipe to find out the next step. Terrifying and amazing at the same time.

Things I learned from this recipe:

The tip on adding toasted baguettes is a good one and I'm sad I didn't do it, but it would've been too much for lunch.

I haven't made a bad pesto yet.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes
