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.
 
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.
