pesto pasta

I made pesto again this morning. This time I used this recipe (half stolen from the web somewhere..)

1 bunch of basil
1 garlic clove
1 can of mixed veggies including peas, carrots, string beans, and lima beans I think
artichoke hearts
water
arame seaweed
nutritional yeast
whole wheat spiral pasta

I think I need to use more garlic next time. I only used one little part of the whole garlic, and I think it needs more. The nutritional yeast has once again salvaged the meal. I was also thinking someday when I have $ to waste I'll get a can of black olives and throw a couple olives into the blender too. I forgot to chop the arame so it's too long and stringy too.

But it's fat-free, no oil. Could use a little more garlic and salt to taste I guess. Not too bad with nutritional yeast. I like nutritional yeast anyways.

But it's not bad. Maybe I have to add more pesto to the pasta. I still have a lot of both left over.
