I like our new neighbors. Let me tell you why. They own a piece of land up in the mountains where they grow vegetables. Apparently, we have entered the zucchine season and, yesterday, we were presented with a bag full of fresh zucchine (with the flowers still attached). Not only that, they also gave us a big bunch of basil leaves. As soon as I get some eggs from the store, I am planning to make zucchine ripiene (zucchine stuffed with ricotta cheese), but in the mean while, like a real Genovese, I processed all the basil into pesto. Since it was the first time for me to try this, I wasn't sure if it would come out OK, but seeing Auro eat 3 plates of pasta, it couldn't have been too bad ;-)
