super speedy rocket and tomato pasta

Monday 09 July 2007

I just made myself the most delicious quick lunch using some "wild" rocket from the garden.

Cook some pasta, drain it and put it back in the pan with a handful of rocket, a spoonful of pesto and about a third of a tin of chopped tomatoes. Stir it all up and cook over a low heat until the tomatoes are heated through.

You could of course use fresh tomatoes but that would make it slightly less quick and easy, wouldn't it?

my first carrot

A mighty fine carrot

Plucked from the soil a few minutes ago, just to see how they're getting on. This was one of the smaller plants. If the carrots were an experiment I think it's fair to say the results are pretty positive. And it smells, like, so carroty, man.
