Pasta with pesto of wild fennel, pine nuts and salmon. With the summer progresses (and with it the heat) it is important to eat well, but without spending hours and hours in the kitchen. I was browsing through the recipes quick lunches on the site of G, looking for something practical to bring lunch to work, and it is an overhead light bulb went on: have you ever tried the pesto fennel (or fennel) wild? Having brought in quantities from Sardinia, I thought of using wild fennel (foeniculum vulgare) Like this, and I must say it was a great idea.
The wild fennel pesto
The one with fennel is a sweet pesto, obviously very aromatic and perfumed, by the beautiful forest green. It is prepared in a few minutes and you can keep in the refrigerator, covered by a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil, for 3-4 days, or freeze in the jar and use it when you need it. The pesto of wild fennel is a wild card in the kitchen, because you can use it to flavor a paste as you do with basil pesto, or a nice cold pasta salad. between the altrp, fennel goes perfectly with fish: I do not know if you know the PASTA WITH SARDINES Palermo. So I added diced fresh salmon seared, to make this quick dish a tasty main dish. I find that PEST They are very versatile and practical: get ready in a hurry, mostly raw or lightly cooked vegetables. There can easily portioned and frozen and, adding some small ingredient, You always have a different dish.
