Green Pasta

Nice change up from the usual marinara sauced pasta.  My youngest daughter named the dish.

Green Pasta

frozen or fresh ravioli
OR
other favorite pasta shape
or gnocchi
(reserve some of the pasta water from cooked pasta)
basil pesto
grated Parmesan

Cook your pasta and drain until most of the liquid is out.  Sprinkle on some Parmesan and add a dollop or two or three of the pesto.  Stir.  There should be enough liquid to mix with the pesto and Parmesan to make a lovely green sauce.  Feel free to serve with more Parmesan sprinkled on top.

Tropical Paradise Drink

Some years ago my mom and I were wanting a fruity alcohol drink one day and came upon a recipe similar to this one.  Somewhere in the story we realized she was using the wrong mark on the measuring cup and was over measuring the alcohol by double on each!  Turns out we liked it better this way.  If you like more fruit/less alcohol cut the rum and schnapps in half.


Tropical Paradise Drink

2 ounces Malibu Rum
2 ounces Peach Schnapps
3 ounces orange juice
3 ounces pineapple juice
2 teaspoons grenadine
ice

Add ice to your glass.  Pour in the alcohols and juice.  For a pretty presentation pour the grenadine in last. It falls to the bottom to leave a pretty red-orange color.   Stir before drinking.
