Hand made Spaghetti with Pesto and Grape Tomatoes


Fresh from getting soaked at the Addison Rd Growers Market, (every sunday at the Addison Rd, Community Centre in Marrickville - near Reverse Garbage) we whipped up some fresh spaghetti, cranking up the pasta maker for the first time in our new kitchen. At the markets, we grabbed some delicious grape tomatoes, and the biggest bunch of basil and without even planning it we had the makings of delicious pesto on our hands!

Hannah worked her magic on the spaghetti. We hadn't tried this before, only making tagliatelle so far, so it was a bit fiddly and got a bit mushy, but still it was delicious. Nothing better than freshly made pasta! The pesto was so easy and being a classic Genovese sauce, it's not something I have grown up eating or seeing made. But with a good whizz and loads of good parmesan, olive oil and toasted pine-nuts you can't go wrong really!

Stay tuned for a recipe shortly.

It went down beautifully with a glass of of our favourite white wine, from
Willow Bridge which is usually around the $11 mark!

Marco.
