Don't we all love some pasta's every now & then? I really really do..I love to mix them up, keep it simple (as the real Italians) and enjoy the lovely comfort food. Pasta's are mostly known as unhealthy and refined grains, which are mostly true..But if you want to make it a bit healthier choose wisely and go for the organic, fresh and different kinds of grain pasta's such as spelt, quinoa even mungbean pasta...I still need to find a place where I can get mine mungbean pasta..so if you have any idea, please let me know:-)
This is a lovely mixed up red and green pesto pasta with some healthy and lightly cooked asparagus. What do you need for this recipe?

- 1/3 coffeecup of roasted pinenuts
- 3 tblsp fresh lemon juice

Cook the pasta according to preparation. Put the basil, pinenuts, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice in the foodprocessor and mix it al well. Add the olive oil and mix until a smooth paste.
