Not Your Purist's Pesto

What can I say? We had the pesto, the parmigiano, the potatoes, the cream, and the fresh green beans. We didn't have the trenette...but Amir and I were hungry, we'd been in enough stores for one day, and spaghetti we did have. With a salad of fresh red peppers, it looked, smelled, and tasted divine.

I used the last of the Farchioni unfiltered extra-virgin olive oil--from Umbria--on this dish. So bite me. Ligurian specialties aren't too easy to come by around here. I may have to make another trip to Italy.

    Thank you, I was trying to remember the name of that pasta that goes exclusively with pesto.

    Trenette...
