I was browsing through the BEAUTIFUL garden's showcased by Carol at
May Dreams Gardens after dinner tonight, and I found Wendy at
Greenish Thumb and her Garden to Table Challenge. Since I
happened to make a quick dinner tonight using basil from my patio. I thought I'd jump in and share. You'll have to forgive me though - found Wendy's blog after dinner, so the only pictures I have are the basil pictures I proudly texted a friend tonight!
Call me silly, but I was really excited when I was told I could freeze dry herbs in
ice cube trays.
I snapped a few freshly frozen leaves, and let them simmer with petite diced tomatoes & garlic for about 20 minutes.
I used this as a topping for shell pasta lightly tossed in Alfredo sauce. Simple & Tasty!

That does look like a simple and very tasty sauce! I like the idea of freezing things and I definitely need to do that more. Your ice cube trays remind me that i used to freeze babyfood in them. I think pesto would probably freeze perfectly this way!
ReplyDeleteFreezing pesto this way sounds like a wonderful idea. I can't wait until I have enough basil from my garden to start trying recipes :)
ReplyDeleteSimple is the best! I always forget to freeze my basil into ice cubes year after year.
