Beginning of peach, apricot Pesto Pasta

I did this after a 8 trip days from Los Angeles to South Carolina with my mother. Our mission to offer a dog, Phoebe and a truck early branch, SC. A fabulous trip! We traveled through 10 States over nine days. My mother is very sensitive to processed food, additives and preservatives. Really, his body rejects something unnatural. So I packed two coolers full of fresh food before we left (which filled along the road from Whole Foods in major cities).

Upon our arrival to early branch, SC, were tired and an hour away from anything. So another cooked dinner with ingredients I had left in the cooler: cool peaches,, apricots, gluten free pasta pesto and quinoa (my mother has a sensitivity of gluten). Why not make a pesto pasta with fresh fruit stone!? Here is the recipe and it is delicious!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of butter

4-6 oz of your favorite spaghetti pasta (I used quinoa gluten)

2 fresh apricots, sliced in seed removed .5 "half-moon shapes

2 fresh peach, sliced in seed removed .5 "half-moon shapes

1 cup fresh pesto, home-made or store bought (recipe for pesto is lower)

1-2 garlic cloves smashed, skins removed and chopped fine

Fleur de sel

Fresh cracked pepper

Parmesan or goat cheese.

Method

Boil the pasta according to package directions (I like to cook it al dente).

Add olive oil and butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, peaches and apricots to the skillet and sauté until the fruit is just softened (do not overcook or it turns into mush).

When the dough is done cooking, drain.

Add pasta and pesto pan and pull. Garnish with the hard cheese. Serve immediately and pass with hard cheese.

Ingredients

1 Basil bunch of herbs or – 2 cups packed fresh basil, herbs, oregano , Melissa

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 garlic glove smashed

Zest of 1 lemon

3 tbsp pine nuts

.5 Cup of olive oil

Method

Smash garlic with mortar. Add zest, lemon juice, salt. Add the herbs and gently smash, during the rotation the mortar until you have a nice creamy sauce. Alternatively, you can mix the ingredients in a food processor until combined (don't over melt or burn up essential oils in herbs).
