Well. . .what must you do when the basil is growing like a weed . . .
and the garlic is "in bulb" ???
MAKE PESTO !
What a wonderful fresh melange of flavors!
So simple . . . . the only accompaniments needed are a piece of fresh bread
a sliced tomato and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
In our summer heat . . . .
THE perfect dinner!
Bon Appetit!
