Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Maccheroni Calabrese alla Oven Dried Tomato Pesto

[heart_this] · Sep 3, 2007 · 4 Comments

Maccheroni Calabrese alla Oven Dried Tomato Pesto

Sun dried tomato pesto is one of my favorite pesto’s. Having just oven dried my own tomatoes I had to try making the pesto with them. I used the same recipe that I always do replacing the sun dried tomatoes with the oven dried tomatoes. The pesto turned out pretty good. The oven dried tomatoes gave the pesto a really nice concentrated tomato flavour.

    A great idea for this time of year. And since I’m actually wearing a sweater….I probably don’t even need an air conditioner to help me through the oven-drying process.

    Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Nights.
