Recipe: Homemade Nut Pesto with Cream Dory Fingers

Nut Pesto with Cream Dory Fingers

Here's a photo I took after cooking a fast and easy Homemade Nut Pesto and pan frying Cream Dory Fingers, simple perfect combination that has outgrown my personal craving for the usual meat spaghetti. To make this pesto, all you need is a typical spaghetti pasta, McCormick Pesto Pasta Sauce Mix (those in pouches), olive oil (Doña Elena is affordable), nuts (pine nuts is recommended, but simple peanuts works just fine), and parmesan cheese to sprinkle after the sauce mixture has been readied.

I served this pasta with cream dory finger (recipe here) but nut pesto can also be partnered with thinly pounded chicken breast covered with commonly used cornstarch-egg-breadcrumbs for breading.  I'm proud to say that this fast easy pesto dish got good reviews during our class reunion dinner party.
