ARTICHOKE PESTO PASTA
Here's a unique pesto made with artichoke hearts. We make the pesto on the weekend, bring it to room temperature, and toss it with hot pasta for a quick weeknight meal. It makes a great side dish too with chicken, steak or fish. From Sunset's "Kitchen Cabinet" (submitted by Kathryn Murdock of Moss Beach, CA).
