Pasta Al Pesto

Directions

PESTO: Place ingredients in bowl of food processor. Process until smooth, using rubber scraper to push down the sides occasionally. Makes ½ cup.

PASTA: Boil a large pot of water; cook pasta until al dente. While pasta is cooking, prepare pesto; set aside, covered.

Steam carrots. Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil. Add zucchini and peapods. Stir continuously until crisp/tender. When pasta is done, drain well; toss pesto with noodles until they are well coated.

Then toss in vegetables. Garnish with pepper and cheese.
