From #AleKitchenSound, a dish that combines the flavors of Italy, Greece, and Australia: "Spaghetti with Walnut, Macadamia, and Feta Pesto"! The essential ingredients for this recipe are macadamia nuts, basil, and feta to make a fresh and flavorful pesto. Simply add walnuts, a few garlic slivers, two Piccadilly tomatoes, plenty of fresh basil, salt, extra virgin olive oil, and finally some ice to a blender. A small ice cube will cool the blender blade and prevent the basil from oxidizing. Just a few natural ingredients for a genuine, flavorful, and winning first course!
