Leftover Veggies Pesto Recipe

	Murph / All my dishes 2 years, 8 months ago Needed to go shopping, but needed to eat first. Made out of random leftovers and freezered items, and turned out decently. All quantities are very approximate - might need a little more veggie sausage and pesto. Prep:5m Cook:10m Servings:4	Murph

Ingredients

Pasta - 2 cups dry (leftover from experimental home pasta-making)

Veggie sausage - 6 Morningstar Farms frozen links

Frozen green beans - 1.5 cups (was looking for frozen kale; found beans first)

Frozen artichoke hearts - 1 cup

Pesto - 5 ice cubes worth (note: homemade pesto can be frozen in ice cube trays; 1-2 cubes = 1 serving!)

Directions

Start boiling water

Look in freezer for frozen veggies/sausage

Prepare veggie sausage according to directions (skillet)

Put pasta in boiling water

Steam frozen veggies

Heat pesto in microwave on "defrost" setting (2-3 minutes, stirring once - full power will burn)

Mix all ingredients in bowl

Serve

Yep, it's pretty convenient - you can make an enormous batch of pesto when basil is in season and plentiful, freeze it up, and use it the rest of the year!

I love the pesto in ice cube trays idea! I always make pesto in the summer when my basil is thriving and WISH I had some in the winter! Great idea ~ high five for that idea alone. Blessings, deb
