Two, that I can't wait to try! - farnfam - 09-11-2009
I've been over at FoodGawker looking for inspiration and found two great ideas! The first, I'm going to try tonite, it's linguine with creamy zucchinni pesto, I'm going to serve it with sea legs, and they top it with crispy fried zuke skins. Sounds so yummy.
The next is for breakfast tomorrow - eggs, baked inside tomatoes that have been rubbed with an olive oil/basil pesto and prebaked. Serving that with our fave home made Italian bread and champagne of course. Oh and I almost forgot to add the tomatoes are wrapped with prociutto that crisps up while they're baking
I'm treating myself since I had a minor surgery yesterday and now I'm just gonna indulge.

So here's my report on the cream zuke pesto over linguine with the fried skins toppping.
It was delicious!! The link from foodgawker led to a few recipes, and I took some of each.
First I made a pesto from a good size batch of basil, smoked almonds,garlic and evo pulsed in FP.
I skinned a couple of good sized zukes and cubed them, setting the skins aside.
While the cubed zukes were simmering with an onion, s&p in a bit of oil, I boiled the linguine, and added softened nuefachel (sp?)and some asiago to the pesto pulsed in the FP.
In a pasta serving bowl, I mixed the cooked linguine with the cooked zukes and creamy pesto. Floured and breadcrumbed the skins and fried crisp, then use as topping This was so good!

That does sound good - I haven't made it to the site yet, neighbors showed up yesterday afternoon and there went the neighborhood again.

It does sound good. I checked it out yesterday and couldn't figure out which one you were going to do...they both sounded so good! That site is so dangerous! EVERYTHING looks good! And I wind up clicking on so many things....before I know it, an hour has passed...LOL!
Don't forget to tell us about brunch! Those little tomatoes looked soooo cute!

Cr@p I go there daily and print so many recipes or save them that I'll never get to them all. I love it for inspiration, and just a place to pique my imagination.

This morning, we had the eggs baked in tomatoes for brunch, with champagne.
These were so good, will definitely make again...often. Very easy and perfect with our Italian bread recipe.
Here's the link, but watch out Foodgawker is addictive:
