No time to cook?
Don't worry we've got some easy quick recipes for you!
How about a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of fresh tomato and fresh basil leaves?
Delicious!
Here is another easy recipe with basil:
- Grind-up basil, garlic, and olive oil into a paste. (Basil is a prime ingredient in pistou, a Mediterranean specialty.)
- Add to cooked pasta noodles and stir.
In Italy, pine nuts and parmesan cheese are added to the paste to become pesto.
Extras: Try adding tomatoes and or bell peppers (fresh or roasted).
Tips: Want less carbs? Substitute noodles for zucchini noodles. (Psst! Did you know that you can grow zucchini in your AeroGarden with a "Grow Anything" Seed Pod Kit!)
