Directions
last night i cracked open my worn _moosewood restaurant low-fat favorites_ cookbook and found the most wonderful treasure. i'm not too sure that i'm supposed to post exact recipes (anyone?), but i'm giving credit to the authors. everyone should try this, it's fantastic!!! puree everything in a blender or food processor until smooth. the recipe said that it makes exactly the right amount for 1 pound of pasta. each 1-ounce serving contains 0.7 grams of fat. (i have NO idea how much 1 ounce of pesto is, maybe 1 or 2 tablespoons?) also, it keeps in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. i tossed it with whole wheat rotini, and i thought i had died and gone to heaven...
