Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium carrots
3 medium zucchini
1 pound dried linguine
For 3/4 cup mixed herb pesto:
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves, washed well and spun dry
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, washed well and spun dry
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted golden brown and cooled
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline cut carrots and zucchini into 1/8-inch-thick julienne strips. (Alternatively, using a sharp knife, halve carrots and zucchini crosswise and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide pieces.)
  • In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook 8 minutes, or until barely tender. Add carrots and cook 1 minute. Add zucchini and cook 1 minute. Reserve 2/3 cup cooking water and drain pasta and vegetables.
  • In a large bowl stir together pesto and reserved hot cooking water. Add pasta and vegetables and toss well.
  • To make mixed herb pesto:
  • In a food processor blend together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Pesto keeps, surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled, 1 week. Makes about 3/4 cup.

This recipe was a disaster! The pesto was too salty and the vegetables were mushy. I ended up throwing the whole thing out. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I wasn't a fan of the pesto in this dish. It was too oily and didn't have much flavor. The vegetables were cooked well, but the overall dish was just okay.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and salt. The vegetables were cooked well, but I would have preferred them to be a bit more tender.
