Author Notes
In our family we are big fans of Italian cusine and often prepare it at home. This past summer I created this dish using a homemade pesto I had prepared with the huge amounts of basil left over in our garden. You could switch the flavors of this dish up by using a number of pestos, for example I made a few differnet variations including almond, walnut and even sunflower seeds. Oddly enough I am not a huge fan of pine nuts so these options work great for me! —JennT1981
