Basil pesto pasta garnished with cherry tomatoes  

The basil and tomatoes came from our balcony garden.  Recipe from Ina Garten:  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/pesto-recipe.print.html#.  This was my first time making pesto, and I loved Ina’s use of walnuts as well as pine nuts.  (Oct. 2014)
