Thanks Nicole for the great recipe. Jon and I made it last night and I am still laughing because it was like 9:00 when we finished making it (because we had worked late not because it takes long to make - it is actually really easy and fast) and we were both famished. I was trying to get some food and get to the table as fast as possible and Jon says "should we take a picture"? So of course we had to take one and I am glad we did - it looked pretty darn good! We used a fun tri-colored pasta that has been in our cabinet forever and topped it off with fresh basil and oregano from our garden!
looks much more appetizing than mine! i totally forgot to use our fresh herbs... hey any suggestions for how to get bugs to stop eating my basil??
ReplyDeletehey I know!! my neighbor is having this problem and she put a small dish of soapy water with some dead bugs (beetles I think) next to her basil plant. In just a few hours, all put two bugs had left her basil. let me know if it works for you?!
ReplyDeleteI have actually heard about the soapy water thing too..I haven't tried it, but the people who had the garden plot next to us at oregon used to use a spray bottle to spray soapy water on theirs...
ReplyDeleteI have also heard of putting blood meal down on the soil around the basil - I think you can buy it at any home improvement store or down to earth.
May I have Nicole's recipe for the pasta dish? I have the fresh basil and oregano growing in our small front garden.
