This week we made our first dish and we decided on pesto! With its flourishment in our garden, we could not resist using lettuce as our key ingredient. Gabbi prepared the star of the show this week. Jefferson contributed to the purchase the pine nuts. Caite bought and toasted some sliced baguettes to put the pesto onto. Vanessa gathered the parmesan cheese for the pesto and prepared the dish in class. Unfortunately, Jefferson had to meet with the Board of Education, so he never tasted the final product :(. However, with the astonishing number of seconds... and thirds people asked, it is no doubt that we made one of the best dishes in the class in our period (we hope!). Inspired by an online recipe, we also threw in our own flares into this amazing dish. Below you can find the fabulous recipes and our preparation photos for this delicious masterpiece: Ingredients: 3/4 cup Olive Oil 1/4 cup Basil 1 cup Pre-Shredded Parmesan 1/2 cup Water 2 cups Lettuce 3 Cloves of Garlic, minced 1/4 cup Pine Nuts Salt to taste Preparation Process: 1.
