Pasta was one of the first things I learned how to cook, too. Though I think I started out with boxed macaroni and cheese and worked my way up! It really is amazing how if you have just a few key ingredients you can turn a simple red sauce into something totally divine. Your method sounds fantastic. I don't think I've made a red pesto, but now I totally want to. Mushroom and leek pasta is on tap for the week, but might have to stick with the green pesto this week since as usual I bought way too many of the delicious fresh greens from the market and need to use them up, haha!

Sounds good... kale pesto is awesome too. It makes the basil go further too. Yum... I love steamed leeks with a passion!!! Looks like I might have to make a red pesto for FVM! Really... it's roast red capsicum blended with usual pesto ingredients. Pesto actually means to pound and crush... but we always think of it as basil sauce!
Well my breath is stinky, but my leek and arugula/rocket pesto past turned out delicious, haha. Probably half in part to the leeks and half to the raw garlic I used in the pesto. Oh well, luckily no clients tonight to breath on! 🤣
