Pesto!

Man, I love pesto. I have my sister to thank for this; hearing of my terrible cooking experiments in my first year of Uni, namely "pasta and salt", she suggested this wonderful sauce, and when sachets were given away with the uni paper, I began my life anew. It's gotten to the point where, trying a new jar from a different brand than my usual, I get the urge to talk like a wine-buff, things like "quite a nutty punch, with strong citrus tones". This is surely not sane.

My current favourite variation is rocket pesto with roughly-sliced kabanos sausage stirred into freshly cooked pasta, which I try to limit to once a week. The only cooking skills you need are chop, boil and stir, which is within even my meagre capabilities. I'm still having problems with omelette, let alone the dizzying eights of beef curry with rice and fresh salad.
