Italian Dishes go on...yum

Quick Noodles with Pesto Sauce

Total prep and bake time less than 20 minutes!! Yea!

Cook spaghetti as usual. Whole grain pastas are now available and add fiber and flavor!

In a small bowl combine 1 cup of chopped parsley, 1 Tablespoon basil, 2 garlic cloves crushed, 1/2 cup olice oil, 1/2 teas salt or salt substitute, 1/8 teas white pepper, (black can be used but is not as good for this recipe), 2 Tablespoons butter or marjarine, 2 Tablespoons boiling water, 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, 3/4 cup parmesan cheese.

Place the well drained spaghetti in a large bowl. Pour the mixture over the spaghetti and lightly toss to coat. Sprinkle top with additional parmesan if desired.

Makes 4 servings.
