Lovely. Does the Kamut pasta taste very different from ordinary pasta? It looks quite 'white' whereas I'd have expected a browner pasta. Not that I really know!

Not so very different even if the taste recalls a little bit nuts..I think I could taste much better its taste if I have a very simple seasoning, whilst having eaten them with rocket pesto maybe it has covered the "natural" flavour.

I have lots of fresh herbs in the spring, summer and fall. I love making pesto with different herbs.

Wow, lucky you! you are very good at using your genuine ingredients ... what kind of pesto do you prefer to prepare?

My fave is a sweet basil pesto. I also play around with other fresh herbs - thyme. oregano, sage, rosemary. I have also played with tomato herb pesto. Also a mild pepper pesto. I usually use roasted pecans instead of pine nuts. Readily available - from my Sister's yard . I like free!

One of the benefits of living in the deep south is very long growing season.

I usually use walnuts or pecan nuts in home made pesto, rather than pine nuts, and either basil (which grows very easily on my window ledge) or young carrot tops.

Good idea. Pine nuts are very expensive!
