Pasta With Pesto, Tomato & Mozzarella

インスタでお友達がペスト(バジル、ニンニク、松の実、パルメジャーノ、オリーブオイルのソース)のパスタをアップされていて、そういえばしばらく食べていないので食べたいなと思い、今日の夕食はペストと和えたパスタにしました。夫はすごくシンプルなパスタを好まないので、最初はペストと桃と生ハムの冷製パスタにしようと思っていたのですが、桃がカリカリでまだ全然熟れていなかったので予定を変更し、夫が義弟夫婦からもらって来た家で育てたトマトとバッファロー・モッツァレッラを加えたものにしました。

I saw a pasta dish with pesto that my friend posted on Instagram yesterday and thought “we haven’t had that for a long long time, we should make it”.  However, my husband doesn’t like very simple pasta so I was planning to add some peaches and Parma Ham and make a cold pasta dish, but sadly the peaches were quite crunchy and had no flavour so I had to change my plan.  My husband was out today and had tea at his brother and his wife’s and they gave us some tomatoes that they grew in their garden, so I added them to the pasta as well as some Buffalo mozzarella.

ペストはバジル、ニンニク、松の実、アーモンド、パルメジャーノチーズ、塩を適当に混ぜて作りましたが、ペストを作るのにちょうど良いブレンダーがなかったので結構ツブツブが残った状態になってしまいましたが、ラスティックなスタイル、ということで。味は、美味しかったです。(わたしは60点くらいだと思いましたが、夫はすごく美味しい、100点と言っていました、笑。)

I just chucked basil, garlic, pine nuts, almond, Parmesan cheese and salt and tried to mash all together to make the pesto.  Unfortunately, I realised then that we don’t have the right type of equipment for that now, so it ended up being not very smooth, with some bits of almond, but we called it rustic style and enjoyed it anyway, it tasted good.  (I thought it was about 60 points out of 100 but my husband says 100 out of 100.  He really loved it.)
